Watermelon and Grapes

John F. Francis

National Gallery of Art

In this oval painting, a large chunk of watermelon with seeds is on the left and a cluster of grapes is on the right, resting on top of a table with a white tablecloth. Loose seeds are on the table next to watermelon, as well as a smaller chunk of fruit. The grapes are attached to a brown vine. The color palette includes reds, pinks, purples, greens, and browns, and the background is dark.
