Three pomegranates sit on a white cloth. One has its leaves attached, one is still yellow, and one is split open, exposing the seeds. Thick, multicolored brushstrokes energize the composition and give a sense of tactility to the fruits. The split pomegranate looks especially enticing and signals the continuity between Renoir's fruits and his female nudes.
