Asters, which can be seen behind the basket brimming with grapes, pears, and a split open pomegranate, emphasize the autumnal character of this still life. The basket is on a stone bench strewn with a pineapple, figs, peaches, half a walnut, and a single rotten grape. In addition to the autumnal hues of the vine leaf and the curving foliage of the peach twig, these details alone testify to Amon’s mastery. It is not without good reason that Waldmüller described her as his most talented student. Indeed, after seeing her pictures he is said to have given up flower painting, a version of events that the dated works of the two artists supports.
