This is a vintage botanical illustration featuring a dark blue snake coiled around a vibrant orange lily. The snake is depicted in a sinuous 'S' shape, its body covered in small, light-colored speckles. Its head is small and pointed, with a dark eye. The lily is a bright, fiery orange with six petals, speckled with darker orange spots. It stands tall with long, green leaves. To the right of the lily and snake is a depiction of the plant's root system, a brown, fibrous mass. The background is a pale, creamy yellow, typical of aged paper. The illustration is detailed and precise, with a focus on the natural forms of both the snake and the plant. There are handwritten numbers and labels at the bottom and top of the image, adding to its antique aesthetic.
