This is Romero Barros' best work in the still life genre

Romero Barros trained in the School of Fine Art in Seville together with the brothers Bécquer and Cabral Bejarano, where his master was Manuel Barrón. He arrived in Cordoba in 1862 where he obtained the position of the museum's Conservator-Restorer, and soon became a key figure in the provincial School of Fine Art. This canvas, painted soon after his arrival in the city (1863), shows his skill in the study from life of a fruit such as the orange, seen in all its different stages, and a potential symbol of Andalusia.
