This still life fully reflects Mompou's pictorial language, characterized by a loose brushstroke and a palette rich in chromatic hallmarks. The composition combines thematic tradition with a modern interpretation, where color and matter acquire a leading role over detailed description.

Trained in Barcelona and linked to the Círculo de Sant Lluc, Mompou developed an active career between Catalonia and Paris, where he lived for several years. He exhibited regularly in galleries such as Dalmau and Parés, and also participated in international salons. His work is present in important collections, including the Reina Sofia Museum and museums in Paris and Barcelona.
