A horizontally oriented black woodblock depicts a fruit harvest. On our left, a radiating sun hangs above figures on ladders picking fruit from a dense tree. To our right, a moon appears beside additional ladders, foliage, and baskets. Deep gouges and rough textures define the dark surface. At the top left, the name "FRASCONI" is carved in reverse.
