Four hand-drawn snakes with coiled and sinuous bodies occupy a cream ground, rendered in teal, mustard yellow, and olive tones with delicate scale detailing along their forms. The composition stacks the creatures vertically in a naturalistic study style reminiscent of 18th-century naturalist illustrations, with each snake articulated in a distinct writhing pose that suggests careful scientific observation. 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.
