Detailed Description
A painting shows an arrangement of flowers and fruits on a light brown stone ledge against a dark brown background. In the upper left, a bouquet of white and light blue flowers, interspersed with green leaves and buds, is arranged in a clear, faceted glass vase with gold-colored decorative elements. White flowers and green tendrils extend to the left, partially over a cluster of light green grapes. To the right of the grapes, three peaches with pink and yellow skins rest on a dark green leaf. On the right side is a large, round, green-skinned melon, which has been cut open. Its orange flesh and numerous seeds are exposed, with several slices arranged around the main body. A small dark fly is visible on the cut surface of one melon piece. The fruits and vase are placed on a light brown stone ledge or table, which has a visible crack on its right side. A large, veined green leaf lies beneath the peaches, extending towards the viewer. The background is a plain, dark brown.
