Meléndez employed a warm color palette dominated by shades of brown and yellow, and used soft lighting to create a serene atmosphere. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds depth and volume to the depicted objects, demonstrating his technical skill.

The painting is now held in the Museo del Prado, a testament to Meléndez's posthumous recognition as a leading Spanish still-life painter of his time, despite struggling with poverty and lack of recognition during his lifetime.
