A wooden bowl heaped with pears and apples sits in the foreground, with a bouquet of sunflowers in a blue-and-white ceramic jug behind and to the left. A red-and-cream striped tablecloth runs the width of the piece, and another blue-and-white vessel is partly visible behind the blooms.

The view is slightly tilted down and flattened, with overlapping forms and simplified shapes rather than deep perspective. Loose, directional brushstrokes, a matte, slightly chalky surface and a palette of terracotta, mustard gold, olive and brick red give the scene a warm, rustic, autumnal feel.
