The painting shows a blue vase filled with bright red poppies. The petals of the poppies are fiery red and gently ruffled, as if someone had just picked them. The blue color of the vase is deep and full, it has a simple, classic shape, which creates a contrast with the vibrant red of the poppies. The whole painting is harmonious and calm, but still has a dynamic effect due to the vibrancy of the colors.
