In this oval painting, a cluster of ripe red raspberries is surrounded by green leaves. The raspberries are in the center of the painting, surrounded by the leaves that extend towards the edges. Some berries hang from thin green stems over the leaves, towards the light brown ground. The background includes some shadowed green plants and a brown sky.
