It has been suggested that similarities between the radiant lighting used in this painting and similar effects in still-life paintings by Philip van Kouwenbergh indicate that this painting may date from the 1690s when van Kouwenbergh was in van den Broeck's studio. Like many of the artist's flower pieces, this one is arranged in a diagonal of overflowing blooms which partly conceal the glass vase.
