Alice Brown Chittenden (1859–1944) was an American painter renowned for her botanical illustrations and vibrant depictions of California's native flora. Among her celebrated works is "Poppies," a painting that exemplifies her meticulous attention to detail and her deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the American West. Chittenden's "Poppies" captures the delicate yet striking essence of the California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), the state flower known for its bright orange petals and distinctive form.

Chittenden's artistic journey began in San Francisco, where she was born and later studied at the School of Design under the tutelage of Virgil Williams and Raymond Yelland. Her work is characterized by a blend of scientific precision and artistic expression, a duality that is evident in "Poppies." This painting not only serves as a visual delight but also as a botanical study, reflecting Chittenden's dual interests in art and science.

"Poppies" is a testament to Chittenden's skill in capturing the ephemeral beauty of flowers. The composition typically features a cluster of poppies in various stages of bloom, set against a naturalistic background that enhances their vivid coloration. The petals are rendered with a delicate translucency, showcasing Chittenden's mastery in using light and shadow to create depth and realism. Her use of color is particularly noteworthy; the vibrant oranges and yellows of the poppies are juxtaposed with the softer greens of the foliage, creating a harmonious and visually appealing contrast.

Throughout her career, Chittenden exhibited her works widely, including at the California State Fair and the San Francisco Art Association. Her paintings, including "Poppies," have been praised for their technical excellence and their ability to convey the intrinsic beauty of the natural world. Today, Chittenden's works are held in various public and private collections, continuing to inspire and captivate audiences with their timeless beauty and scientific accuracy.
