Four serpents in shades of bronze, forest green, and dusty teal coil and intertwine down a cream ground, each positioned beside delicate botanical specimens rendered in muted naturalistic tones. The composition echoes the hand-colored scientific illustrations of 18th-century naturalist cabinets, combining precise linework with warm metallic accents that give the snakes an almost sculptural presence. 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.
