Our knowledge of Italian still-life painting is still in its infancy. This striking still life has been ascribed, surprisingly, to Velázquez, Giuseppe Ruoppoli (a leading exponent of Neopolitan still-life painting), and Giovanni Paolo Spadino. It is currently attributed to the Fleming Abraham Brueghel, who worked in Rome and Naples.
