Four sinuous snakes coil and intertwine across a soft cream ground in this natural history illustration, rendered in warm rust, dusty rose, warm gray, and deep teal. The methodical, hand-drawn linework and muted palette evoke the precision of 18th-century scientific documentation while the serpents' fluid curves create an almost hypnotic rhythm across the composition. 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.
