Description
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 to order on heavyweight matte paper at a petite 3-by-4 or 4-by-4 inches, with an optional poplar wood stand so it can sit upright on a desk or shelf. Small enough to fill the gap in a gallery wall or start a new one. Your first original, priced to collect more than one.
