The artwork depicts a simple, still life arrangement of a vase of eucalyptus and chrysanthemums, a bowl of fruit, and a small blue cup, all set on a wooden table. Pissarro, son of famous Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, was known for his vibrant and loose brushwork and use of light, evident in this piece.
