The early work of Cornelis de Heem from the mid-1650s, when he was still working in the studio of his father in Antwerp, includes a number of large, luxury still-life paintings. Later, he showed a preference for smaller compositions in a more independent style. This has many characteristics of his late work and was probably painted in the 1680s in The Hague.
