In this painting, two clusters of dark blue-black grapes hang from a thin brown branch against a beige background. The branch stretches horizontally across the top of the painting, and olive-green vines from the top of the grapes wrap around it. The grapes reflect light and cast dark shadows on the beige wall behind them.
