The painting shows a lush bouquet of poppies, the flowers of which are bright red, radiating vibrant energy. The petals of the poppies are gently ruffled with fine detail and rich texture. The stems of the bouquet are green and intertwined, holding the flower heads firmly. The background is purple, which contrasts the red poppies, highlighting the colors and shapes of the flowers. The purple background creates a calm, somewhat mystical atmosphere that subtly contrasts the vibrancy of the poppies and creates a romantic, dramatic effect in the composition.
