The image features a large woven basket filled with pears and a couple of peaches or apples, positioned in the center-left of the composition, and a cracked open melon with a textured rind near the center-right. The color palette includes hues of green, red, and the yellow of the melon. To the left, below the basket, there are a few peaches resting separately, while four cucumbers lie in front on the table. To the right, a reflective bowl overflows with figs, with dark grapes. The lighting in the image comes from the upper left, casting shadows and highlighting the texture and color of the fruits against the dark background.
