Summary:
A corner of a tabletop adorned with an abundance of fruit, mostly bunches of green, gold, red, and purple grapes, still on their branches with leaves and vine tendrils, and a few peaches and a pear nestled among them. In the foreground is a green melon cut to reveal its yellow flesh and seeds. In front is a white plate with grapes, plums, peaches, a few cherries, and a glass fruit dish filled with ripe red strawberries. To the right is a half-peeled lemon with peel spiraling over the edge of the table. On the far right is a large wedge of watermelon.
