This painting is a still life of various fruits and flowers. In the center, a glass bowl holds a cluster of red tomatoes. To the left, a large green watermelon is cut in half, with one slice lying on its side. On the right, a cantaloupe is cut in half, with one slice facing upwards. In front of the watermelon, a small bunch of white grapes and a sprig of green leaves with white flowers are arranged. A small blue vase in the center of the table holds a bouquet of yellow, orange, and white flowers. The painting is rendered in oil paint and held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
