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. In a naturalist's study or a collector's curiosity cabinet. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
