In this painting, there is a glass of amber liquid on a marble surface surrounded by green and purple grapes, peaches, a green plum, and two walnuts, one partially opened. The glass is centered, with the fruit and nuts spread around and behind it. On the right, a stem from the red grapes twists upward towards the top right corner, while on the left, the green grapes are still connected to a thin, leafy branch. A bee is perched on one of the peaches, a drop of juice dripping down next to it. The background is dark brown.
