De la Riva signed this work in Paris, where she had settled. There she was to earn considerable recognition for her still lifes, which she presented at the Salons, the Universal Expositions of 1889 and 1900, and other international exhibitions. Her pictures fetched high prices and were very successful among collectors, who appreciated the plastic qualities of her flowers and fruits, many of them from her country of origin, like these bunches of Spanish grapes of different varieties.
