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. For a naturalist's study, a curiosity cabinet, or a room celebrating scientific wonder. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
