Visual Summary

Brief Description

A vertical composition of white and red poppies and green leaves on a warm gold background

Detailed Description

The vertical composition features an arrangement of poppies and their foliage set against a warm, golden-brown background. The flowers are concentrated in the upper-middle and lower-left sections. Many poppies have large white petals, some with distinct red edges, while others are entirely white. Several prominent poppies are solid red. Scattered among the mature blooms are smaller, closed poppy buds, some with visible green sepals. The flowers are surrounded by a dense cluster of large, dark green leaves, which exhibit visible veining and vary in shade, appearing almost black in some areas. The background is a smooth, unadorned golden-brown.
