This is a black and white painting. It depicts a tree-picking scene with ladders and leaves. The image shows several ladders leaning against a mass of foliage, resembling a tree or orchard. The left side is darker with a round shape potentially symbolizing the moon, while the right side is lighter with a sun composed of sharp rays. Below the sun, there are baskets filled with round objects and scattered circular shapes. "FRASCONI" is prominently displayed at the top right of the image.
