At the center of the composition stands a large green cabbage, surrounded by other vegetables, among which celery stalks, red tomatoes, and a large elongated vegetable with whitish tones—possibly a pumpkin—can be distinguished.
The elements are arranged on a stone table or rustic-looking surface, while the dark background helps to highlight the volumes and the different textures of the vegetables.
The painting presents a horizontal composition, naturalistic in character, with side lighting that highlights the leaves, the fruits, and the chromatic contrasts between greens, whites, and reds.
The ensemble corresponds to the European tradition of the kitchen still life, a genre developed especially during the 17th and 18th centuries.
