The image depicts a grouping of plums on a ceramic plate, an orange fruit on the left, a loaf of bread on the right, set on a wooden surface against a dark background. The plum colors and green leaves contrast with the orange fruit. The plate has a light design. A white butterfly hovers over the plums.
