This painting shows a strange scene. There's a snake's head, and flowers are falling around it. The colors are muted, with lots of browns and grays. What's interesting is how the artist used shadows to make the snake's head look mysterious. It's hard to see all the details, but it looks like the snake is coming out of the darkness.
