The painting features a large slice of yellow cake, a halved lemon, a glass of pale-yellow liquid with a slice of lemon and a straw in it, and a white plate filled with red raspberries. The objects are placed on a white tablecloth with the raspberries to the left, the lemon and cake in the center, and the glass to the right. The wall behind the objects is a teal blue on the right which fades to black towards the left edge.
