DescriptionAn open-woven wicker basket is filled with fruit, including a pear, an apple, grapes with their leaves, and what may be tomatoes and a quince. A branch with chestnut leaves and chesnuts in their burrs is at the upper left. Additional leaves are at the right, with what may be small black plums. On a marble-topped table beside the basket are an apple or peach with leaves, a branch with currants and their leaves, a twig with cherries and leaves, and a pomegranate split open to show its seeds.
