What is shown in this coloring page?

Nectarines are a smooth-skinned variety of peach, known for their sweet, juicy flesh and vibrant colors. They are not a cross between a peach and a plum, but a natural mutation of peaches. The fruit can range from creamy yellow to deep red, often with a beautiful blush. The inside flesh is typically golden yellow or white, surrounding a single, large pit.
