Collection of fruit including peaches, blackberries, plums, melon, grapes, pears and apples.

The bounty of the American land is celebrated through this still life of fruit. The composition is well-balanced and beautifully colored with the dark grapes contrasting with the melon and echoed by the black raspberries in the foreground.
