"Ragged Poppy" is a hand-painted cotton textile designed by John Scarratt Rigby in 1902, and is now held at the Art Institute of Chicago. It features a delicate floral pattern of poppy flowers and leaves in shades of blue on a cream background. The design is framed by a border of stylized flowers and leaves, creating a sense of unity and balance. This piece is a testament to Rigby's meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of floral patterns in textile design. The work exemplifies the Art Nouveau style with its organic forms and emphasis on nature.
