Painted in 1991, a photograph, probably taken by the artist, records the present composition: a single rose in a vase with fruit and flowers in a basket arranged on the draining board adjacent to the sink in the scullery at Chesterford Road, Hampstead (Schlenker p. 501). The photograph, together with the domed wire-mesh food cover which can be glimpsed behind the fruit basket, are now in the Motesiczky Archive in Tate Britain.
