Still life, a pictorial representation of foodstuffs, objects or inanimate objects, was one of the artistic genres that became completely independent in the 17th century. The origins of still life are found in Dutch painting, among other sources. At the beginning of Dutch painting, artists included additional elements in their religious compositions, depicting them in a realistic way and in minute detail to the point that these paintings included small still lifes inserted spontaneously into their compositions.

Reggiani composed this still life inspired by the Dutch school.
