The bowl of fruit in the present painting appears in a larger composition by Antonio Ponce formerly on the art market, Madrid (see W.B. Jordan in the catalogue of the exhibition, Spanish Still Life in the Golden Age 1600-1650, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, and Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, 1985, p. 173, fig. IX.2). The only significant difference is that the grapes in the present painting are round, whereas those in the Ponce painting mentioned above are oblong. In that painting and others, Ponce appears to have mixed motifs taken directly from van der Hamen (his brother-in-law and teacher) with those of his own invention. For example, the plate of peaches in the Fort Worth/Toledo picture by Ponce is taken directly from van der Hamen's painting in the Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, MA (ibid., p. 140-1, pl. 20)
