Pinturas com esta mesma autoria foram vendidas na Christie's (vd. https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/searchresults.aspx?sc_lang=en&lid=1&searchFrom=searchresults&entry=martinus%20nellius&searchtype=p&action=search) e na Sotheby's (vd. https://www.sothebys.com/en/search-results.html?query=martinus%20nellius). Na identificação de uma das pinturas leiloadas, os peritos salientaram as seguintes características do pintor também presentes nesta pintura: "Another distinct feature in many of Nellius' compositions, as in this painting, is the sheet of paper, often folded as a small paper bag in which tobacco was sold, inscribed with the word 'almanac'. See for example the one sold, London, Sotheby's, 5 July 2007, lot 149." - (vd. http://www.sothebys.com/fr/auctions/ecatalogue/lot.51.html/2011/omp-am1098).

No catálogo da Dorotheum na venda de uma pintura de Nellius, encontra-se citada esta fonte, registando "Nellius should be accorded an exceptional role in Leiden, since he is a ‘naive intimist’.... Because he lowered the eye-level of all of his pictures down to the edge of the table, the objects depicted turn ... into three-dimensional forms giving the appearance of being tangibly near. Yet Nellius’ particular, almost sfumato-like rendition of light and shade removes all of the objects from haptic proximity and reorders them in a realm of atmospheric appearance beyond concrete materiality..." 4) A. van der Willigen & F.G.
