A figure in period dress leans back dramatically while tending to a massive serpent coiled around ornate lettering that reads "Burning Daylight" in bold, swooping capitals. The composition is rendered in rich brown linework against a warm cream ground, with an Art Nouveau sensibility that emphasizes decorative borders, flowing curves, and theatrical movement. For a den, study, or space celebrating vintage literature and adventure tales. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
