A collection of sinuous snakes in gold, teal, black-and-white striped, and red-and-white banded patterns winds across a cream ground, interspersed with delicate botanical specimens including small flowering plants and clustered blooms in coral and blue. The composition balances natural history illustration with ornamental arrangement, rendered in soft watercolor tones that evoke 18th-century cabinet-of-curiosities documentation. 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.
