"Blooming Poppy," Max Schlichting, 1895.
A German Impressionist, Schlichting (1866-1937) was a bit of a standout, as Germany wasn't known for Impressionism. Some other German artists sniffed at his embrace of the style, seeing it as too French, but he soldiered on.
Much of his work depicts scenes in France, Flanders, and the Netherlands, with relatively little art of German subjects. He became a noted teacher of art, and also was an illustrator of various books, and the New York Herald and the British "World" paper.
A nice little scene; Schlichting hasn't undergone a revival yet, but that may happen soon.
From the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin.
