A bonbonnière is a small vessel for sweets. Renoir's is decorated with a floral motif and seems to melt into the blue, purple, and white whirls that denote the tablecloth and background. To the left are two oranges and two lemons, highlighted with bright impasto yellow. The thinly painted, iridescent background bends around the fruits and bonbonnière.
