As a botanist, I identify these blooms as Papaver orientale (Oriental poppy) or Papaver somniferum, characterized by their large, papery petals with crinkled margins and prominent dark stigmatic disks. The illustration accurately captures the plant's growth habit with hairy stems and pinnately lobed foliage, rendered here with Victorian-era ornamental damask elements. The coloration ranges from deep burgundy to burnt terracotta, typical of cultivated poppy varieties, set against a charcoal ground with gilded acanthus-style scrollwork.
