Originally from Wiltshire, the artist worked for most of his life in London.

This still life is typical of the small, gem-like larder and game pieces he normally produced. It suggests an influence of seventeenth-century Netherlandish paintings. This is unsurprising as Blake was employed by dealers to copy old Dutch pictures, some of which were not sold under his own name.
