This painting depicts two whole oranges, a peeled orange, and a glass goblet filled with a dark orange liquid. The peeled orange is in the center, with the two whole oranges on either side. The glass goblet sits behind the oranges, partially hidden by the peeled orange. There are small orange rinds sitting at the bottom of the glass in the dark liquid. The objects rest on a light brown surface, and the wall behind them is black.
