A wine carafe and a wine bottle are on the left in the background, next to them you can see a piece of pie and a container for salt. The vine leaves in front of the dark wall with the small parrot hanging upside down on the branch give the composition a playful finish.The still life follows the tradition of the Flemish pomp still lifes by Abraham van Beyeren and Jan Davidsz. de Heem.
