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. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
