The number of balls, or palle, depicted on the Medici coat-of-arms varied with successive Medici rulers. That on the vase depicted in the present painting has six, suggesting a reference to Ferdinand I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (1549-1609), although the painting itself would have been produced after his death.
In correspondence in 2008 Professor Mina Gregori suggested an attribution to Andrea Scacciati on the basis of photographs.
