Poppies 1921

"Poppies," painted in 1921 by Australian artist Tom Roberts, is a still life depicting a bouquet of poppies in a vase. Roberts was known for his realistic approach to depicting nature, and this piece exemplifies his mastery of capturing the delicate beauty of flowers. The painting features a vibrant palette of red, white, and pink, with the poppies' petals rendered with meticulous detail. The loose brushstrokes and soft edges create a sense of movement and fragility, highlighting the fleeting nature of the subject.
