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. 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.
