## Commentary

This painting, representing pink and white peonies in a glass vase and peaches, white roses and fruits on a ledge, is one of the few still-lifes by Strozzi that is accepted as fully autograph by all scholars. The design is simple and deliberately unfussy, with most of the objects on a similar pictorial plane. Both the gentle light entering the scene from the left and the cream background pay homage to &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/c/caravagg/02/14basket.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/c/caravagg/02/14basket.html&#34;&gt;Caravaggio&#39;s Basket of Fruit&lt;/a&gt; in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
