A coiled blue snake with detailed scale patterns winds gracefully beside a botanical specimen of green leaves and delicate golden flowers on a soft beige ground. The composition balances natural history illustration with ornamental artwork, rendered in the classical naturalistic style of 18th-century scientific art. For a study, library, or anywhere natural curiosities are admired. 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.
