A field of green plants with many red poppies, some in bloom and some as buds, fills the foreground and middle ground, with the most prominent poppy in full bloom located in the bottom right corner. The field extends upwards towards a dark green hill or line of trees silhouetted against the sky in the background. The sky is a gradient of colours from pale pink and light orange at the top to a brighter golden orange closer to the horizon line where the sun appears to be setting or rising behind the hill, casting a warm, golden light across the scene. The light illuminates the edges of some of the poppies and the tips of the plants in the field, creating a soft glow.
