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 to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
