Four coiled and curling snakes rendered in naturalistic detail occupy this cream-colored composition, each snake displaying distinct patterns and scales in browns, golds, and muted earth tones. The serpents twist and loop in different configurations across the vertical format, executed in the precise scientific illustration style of 18th-century naturalism. In a naturalist's study, a curiosity cabinet, or a space celebrating scientific history. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
