A dense meadow of wildflowers rises toward a soft blue-grey sky. Daisies and other low blooms clump in the foreground, while taller sunflowers and wild grasses reach upward; red poppies in the upper left and pink roses at the right provide the main points of colour against the sage-green foliage.

Diffuse, overcast daylight keeps the shadows gentle, and distant trees and tall grasses soften into haze. Heavy impasto, visible brushstrokes and a canvas weave grain give the impressionistic scene a tactile, serene and nostalgic feel.
