In this panel Heem portrays a group of flowers, fruit and small animals, precisely delineated and in brilliant colours. Against a black background and standing on a table or pedestal is a clear glass vase, through which we can see the stalks of the flowers in the water. The attention to minute detail and the virtuoso style which this artist displayed is evident in the reflection of a window on the surface of the vase, also visible on the skin of the cherries in the foreground.
