From The Saint Louis Art Museum:
After spending two years in the South of France, Vincent van Gogh moved to the village of Auvers, just to the north of Paris, in May, 1890. He was to spend two prolific months here, producing about seventy paintings before his suicide This canvas shows his close-up focus on the twisted forms of grapevines where the artist employs his characteristic, heavily-loaded brushstroke. Red poppies animate the composition, as do the red roofs in the distance.
