Vonnoh's field of red poppies and spring wildflowers, painted at Grez-sur-Loing in the Forest of Fontainebleau, is one of the finest American Impressionist landscapes. The painting's close-cropped view, its loose, energetic brushwork, and the sense of the sun-warmed field demonstrate how fully he absorbed the lessons of Monet and the French plein-air tradition.
