Four snakes rendered in warm orange, brown, olive, and slate blue coil and intertwine across a cream ground in this naturalistic illustration study. Each serpent displays scaled texture and anatomical detail characteristic of 18th-century scientific observation, arranged in a vertical stack that creates rhythmic movement through color and form. At home in a naturalist's study or a cabinet of curiosities. Printed on glossy aluminum and made to order, ready to hang with the hardware built into the back. Original artwork in a finish that holds its color and resists fading, not a quick print off a shelf.
