Description
A coiled yellow snake dominates the composition, rendered in meticulous detail with scales carefully articulated in warm gold and ochre tones, while smaller dark serpents wind through the upper left corner. Below the snakes, botanical specimens including green-leafed plants and delicate fern fronds provide natural counterpoint, all arranged against a cream parchment ground in the style of classical natural history illustration. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
