Van Veerendael was influenced by two of the leading flower painters in Antwerp, Jan Davidsz de Heem and Daniel Seghers. In this early work the evidence of acute observation seems a legacy of De Heem's Dutch origins, but the overall design and dwelling upon botanical details continue the Flemish tradition of Segher's master, Jan Brueghel the Elder.
