Along with twelve other still
lifes, the present work appears in
the inventory of Goya's property
made after the death of his wife,
Josefa Bayeu (1747-1812)
The rich and warm palette and a
certain insistence on meticulous
technique, perfectly describing the
variety of materials, would seem to
indicate that, like the Dead Turkey
(P741), this work could date from
shortly after 1800.
