The painting depicts a still life of fruit on the ground. Two yellow fruits, likely melons or squash, are positioned in the center. To the left and right of the yellow fruits are clusters of small, round, purple fruits, possibly plums, attached to branches with green leaves. A branch with red berries is visible in the upper right corner. The background is a patch of dry, brown dirt with some small rocks and pebbles scattered around. The overall scene appears to be set outdoors. The title of the painting is "Plums" and the artist is John William Hill.
