Papawer en Skoenlapper

A poppy and two smaller flowers occupy this intimate composition, rendered in oil on board with assured technical precision. The dominant bloom displays deep red petals with a luminous cream border, while delicate companion flowers in yellow and red tones emerge from the lower portion. The background moves between soft greens and warm ochre tones, creating atmospheric depth.
