It is not obvious, but the idea is interesting – the simplicity of his pictures and the chromatic economy return us to the spare constructions of pictorial space such as we find in Sánchez Cotán. By using a dominant colour Guerrero seems to reconstruct a still life like those of Sánchez Cotán, but emptied of objects, vegetables, fruit and animals; there only remains a resonant, allusive space of imprecise depth.
