The print source for this cushion appears to be a widely distributed print after Hieronymus Wierix, 1607-1619, upon which the later painting by Claude Poussin, Autumn or The Spies with the Grapes of the Promised Land, painted between 1660 and 1664 for the Duc de Richelieu, is based.

The story comes from the Book of Numbers, 13:23--13:23 : And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
