In this painting, a woven basket on a stone ledge contains peaches, black grapes, green grapes, and wide green leaves. Peaches are placed prominently at the top of the pile, with grape clusters overflowing on either side. The green leaves and red-tinted grapevine leaves are scattered around. The gray stone surface is visible under the basket, and the background is black.
