This painting shows a still life arrangement with a white-and-blue striped bowl filled with apples and grapes, surrounded by additional fruits, including a pear. The bowl and fruit rest on a flat brown surface. The color palette consists of warm tones of red, yellow, and pink from the apples, while green and dark purple hues come from the grapes and pear. A vine with large green leaves extends above and behind the arrangement, coming from the left. The wall in the background is dark brown.
