The image contains several jars and a halved peach closely lined up against a dark background. The color palette is mainly black and white with some gray tones due to the chiaroscuro technique. The tallest jar is on the left with a rectangular label, and a slightly shorter jar is on the right, tilted back. Another shorter jar with a cloth tied on top is placed in the middle foreground. The halved peach with textured interior is towards the front right corner.
