Vintage Forest Floor Still Life

Vintage oil painting of Forest Floor Still Life by Karl Wilhelm De Hamilton, 1735. Illustrating the butterfly and snake relationship: Prey Vs. Predator. The butterfly is a classic example of a prey animal, being small, fragile, and lacking in natural defenses against predators. The snake, on the other hand, is a predator with the ability to move quickly and strike with deadly accuracy. Such a powerful image that speaks to the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
