This painting shows a table with a white cloth. On the table are a plate of peaches, a carafe, a vase of flowers, and a melon cut in half. The flowers are white, pink, red, and yellow. The background is dark. The flowers are the main focus of the painting. They are painted in detail, with visible brushstrokes. The colors are muted, with the flowers standing out against the dark background. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Henri Fantin-Latour.
