The picture depicts a landscape with poppy plantations. At the front, there is a field of mature poppy plants. At the bottom, there are freely represented leaves and stalks – painted with free and quick strokes and at the top depicted are many flowers of poppy plants. Poppy flowers are also freely painted with quick and vigorous brushstrokes.
In the background, a distance of a great field can be felt, a field that ends at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is depicted from one end of the picture to the other, as is the field with the poppy plantation.
