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. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
