Intertwined snakes rendered in warm brown tones coil around each other within a decorative frame adorned with delicate botanical flourishes and small red flowers. The composition draws from classical natural history engraving tradition, with precise line work and a muted cream background that evokes the naturalistic illustrations of 18th-century scientific manuscripts. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
