A row of four decorative pumpkins and gourds fills the lower third of the frame: one muted brick red, one cream, one striped red and cream, and one striped slate blue and white. Behind them rises a dense bouquet of red dahlia-like blooms, white ranunculus-style roses, sage foliage, dusty blue accent leaves and small gold berry clusters.

A band of blue-and-white chinoiserie scrollwork runs along the base like a table runner or plinth. Loose, confident brushwork, thick matte paint and a soft, slightly hazy light give the still life an elegant, nostalgic harvest feel.
