Description
A dense catalog of reptiles and amphibians fills this hand-colored engraving, arranged in three horizontal registers from snakes and lizards at top to crocodilians in the middle and turtles below. Ochre, sage green, and cream tones dominate the naturalistic palette, rendered with fine cross-hatching and delicate linework characteristic of 19th-century scientific illustration. A glossy-finished set of four, made to order. A bold way to bring an independent artist's work into the room without committing to a large piece, whether on the dining table or the bar at your next party.
