Flora Blanc Reeder

Artist, American, 1916 - 1995

This is a drawing of two intertwined snakes. The drawing features two snakes slithering and intertwining over an undulating textured background. Each snake has distinct patterns and textures, with one snake showing a geometric pattern across its body and the other showcasing a more natural, camouflaged texture. The snakes form loops and curves as they weave around a dark, bold diagonal line that traverses the composition. The overall tone is monochromatic.
