## Commentary

This still-life, unlike van der Ast&#39;s early ones, the arrangement of the still-life looks quite natural, as if the artist simply portraying a basket that he had filled with fresh flowers in his studio. However, the painting was almost certainly carefully composed on the canvas, with the aid of individual studies of the various flowers and other motifs.
