This painting shows a still life with fruit. There's a plate with sliced peaches and grapes on a table. The table has a dark cloth hanging over it. The grapes are green and the peaches are yellow and red. There are some cherries hanging down from the table. The background is dark, which makes the fruit stand out. You can see how the artist used light and shadow to make the fruit look real. This technique is called chiaroscuro.
