A vertically oriented watercolor and ink painting on vellum depicts twelve fruits within a double red rectangular border. Plums and a pear appear in shades of deep purple, golden yellow, and speckled red-green, many featuring thin stems. A delicate, vertical vine border lines our left side. At the bottom, a horizontal branch with green leaves spans the frame, while faint, circular blotches of color sit behind the central fruit cluster.
