Still-life paintings of fruit are rare in van de Velde's work. This one includes a Wan-li porcelain dish of strawberries, a silver spoon, cherries and a glass fashioned in the Venetian manner. Paintings combining glasses of wine with fruit seem to have been a subject which he took up in the last seven or eight years of his career. These are more colourful than his previous work and were perhaps painted in response to the growing popularity of Jan Davidsz. de Heem's work.
