Description
A vertical arrangement of six reptiles in naturalistic detail occupies a cream ground, progressing from small striped lizards at top through spotted and banded varieties to two coiled snakes at the bottom. The composition employs earthy browns and greens with a striking blue accent on the lower serpent, rendered in the precise observational style of 18th-century natural history illustration. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
