This painting shows two halves of a pale-yellow lemon with visible seeds and a small hole in the center. Two green leaves and a short stem accompany the lemon halves. The lemon halves are placed side by side in the center of the painting, with one half slightly angled towards the right. The background is brown, and the lemon halves cast dark shadows.
