Antoine Vollon's career began in Lyon, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts from 1850-52. Moving to Paris in 1859, Vollon struck up friendships with artists such as Théodule Ribot and François Bonvin, who encouraged him to focus on still life and whose influence is evident in the present work. He was among the exhibitors at the first Salon des Refusés in 1863, though by 1865 his work was accepted by the officially sanctioned Salon des artistes français, where he would continue to exhibit regularly. Vollon's distinguished career was recognized in 1897, when he was elected as a full academician of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
