This composition is filled with symbols and emblems used by European painters of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Still life should be viewed from the bottom up. This is a person's path from the womb to death with a moral choice between good and evil, sins and true faith.

Branches and fruits around the bouquet form a garland, personifying the annual cycle and the finiteness of earthly existence. The macrocosm in the microcosm.
