A wine glass sits behind the fruit, and a few leaves are scattered around the arrangement. The painting is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to the textures and colors of the fruit and other objects. The overall effect is one of quiet elegance, inviting the viewer to contemplate the simple beauty of the still life. For more on the artist behind this work, look up Antoine Vollon.
