Painted in 1873, it is one of the most iconic works of the Impressionist movement. This painting, which depicts a woman and a child walking through a field of poppies in Argenteuil, captures the essence of nature and light through the use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Monet, one of the founders of Impressionism, focused on capturing fleeting moments and the shifting atmosphere, evident techniques in this work.

The painting reflects the influence of the Industrial Revolution and modern life on art, representing a break with traditional academic techniques. Monet used light and color to express the feeling of the moment, which becomes a distinctive feature of the impressionism. The treatment of light and color in "Poppy Field" shows Monet's dedication to the direct observation of nature.
