The painting depicts a still-life of a melon, open pomegranates, plums, figs, peaches and pears on a carved stone table, with a girl supporting a bowl of figs and flowers to the right. It is signed lower centre left: A.BREVGEL Ft Roma.
This painting was probably executed during Brueghel's late Roman period (1669-1675), as the inscription suggests. The figure of the girl is by another hand, most likely that of Guillaume Courtois, called il Bergognone, with whom Abraham Brueghel collaborated often.
