A specialist in still lifes of game, fish and fruit, Johannes Kuveenis (also known as Cuvenis) was active for much of his career in The Hague, where he became a member of the artists' guild in 1650. Some paintings by Kuveenis were auctioned in The Hague in 1647, the same year the present work was painted.
