This painting features two large yellow pears in the center, surrounded by clusters of purple and green grapes cascading down from a gilded teal dish on the right. Next to the pears are two pink peaches, with walnuts and green figs in front of them. In the background on the left, there is a decorative blue vase with gold filigree, filled with various colorful flowers and green leaves, including a white rose, red flowers, and small pale blue flowers. The arrangement is on a table with a red covering, and the wall behind them is dark brown.
