A meadow of red poppies runs down to the rocky shore of Appledore Island, with the blue sea and a sail beyond. Hassam painted it in 1891 on one of his summer visits to the poet Celia Thaxter's island, where wild poppies seeded from her garden grew across the rocks. It is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.

Size. Prints at 16×12, 24×18, 32×24 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard; 32×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
