In this painting, a pile of cherries is displayed on a grassy ground. The cherries are in different shades of red, orange, and light yellow, set against a dark green background. Some cherries are scattered in the grass around the pile. Green leaves and grass cover most of the scene, with small patches of tan earth visible at the very bottom.
