This is for example read on the presentation of the bouquet before a shaded background, the draping of the plants around the base of the vase, the inclusion of items of daily use (the small table from the 18th century), as well as the targeted use of lighting. Works of Jan van Huysum (1682-1749), Willem van Aelst (1626-1683) or Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) were the painters from the Academy Gallery, as well as from various private collections known and familiar.
