Four serpents in varying patterns and colors wind through cream parchment, flanked by delicate green botanical sprigs that frame the composition with naturalistic precision. The snakes range from rust-red to deep blue, rendered in the careful hand-colored style of 18th-century natural history illustration, each species distinct in marking and posture. At home in a naturalist's study or a gallery celebrating scientific illustration and natural wonder. Printed on glossy aluminum and made to order, ready to hang with the hardware built into the back. Original artwork in a finish that holds its color and resists fading, not a quick print off a shelf.
