About this work
This scene includes a little still life of pans, jugs, and vegetables. Particularly interesting are the artichokes on the barrel next to the green cabbages. Artichokes originally came from the Mediterranean region and were introduced into Northern Europe in the late 16th century. Carrots, cabbages, and artichokes were all harvested in the autumn.
