| Note: | This painting is one of a series of at least three similar still lifes. One is dated 1905, so all probably were executed circa 1905. For comparison, see [Still Life in plein air] and [Still life with watermelon and banana]. The latter painting is of identical size as this painting and when acquired in 2016 had the same original frame, and thus may have been intended as a pendant. |
