A bundle of branches with round white berries, each marked with a dark speck, lies on a pale cream surface. The berries are modeled in thick, creamy paint, and soft sage and olive leaves surround them. A brown satin ribbon is tied in a loose bow at the lower right, and its folds catch the light.

The canvas weave shows through the muted background, and scraped strokes of paint stand out along the edges. The palette is subdued and the mood is calm and old-fashioned.
