The young man stands with his head tipped back, holding a dark bunch of grapes above his open mouth. A woven basket heaped with grapes and fruit is clamped under his left arm, and two more bunches rest against the rocks at his feet. His shirt reads in red and ochre checks, slipped from one shoulder, while the jeans carry a cool blue. Autumn is given no emblem beyond the harvest itself. The warm upper half and the cool blue below split the figure into two clear fields of colour.
