The painting features a humble arrangement of everyday objects: a basket overflowing with fresh fruits and a charming blue and white teacup. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The loose and expressive brushwork adds texture and spontaneity to the painting, characteristic of Nordström's style.

This artwork is not only visually stunning but also a piece of art history. It offers a glimpse into Nordström's artistic journey and his contribution to the Swedish modernist movement, characterized by bold colors, simplified forms, and a focus on everyday life.
