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. 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.
