Focus on this artwork and analyze the Technique.
The original approach of the trompe-l'œil technique on the work, at the time, allowed the viewer to see it as an object of curiosity, suitable to be shown in a Kunstkammer, such as the intention of the painter. In order to reinforce its illusion, the painting was supposedly exhibited leaning on the entrance hall of the Royal Danish Kunstkammer, suggesting the idea that the painting was just a frame, yet to be hung up. Even today, the painting is exhibited in this way at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
