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. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
