Three snakes in deep navy, chocolate brown, and rust tones twist and coil across a pale beige ground, their sinuous forms stacked vertically to create a natural tower of movement. Delicate green floral vines with tiny leaves frame the composition on either side, rendered in the precise, naturalistic style of 18th-century scientific illustration. 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.
