The Apothecary’s Orphans Shadowbox

“The Apothecary's Orphans” is a 10” X 8” X 1 1/4” shadow box steeped in gothic Victorian mystique.  Against a backdrop of blood analysis charts, bone diagrams, and vintage prescription pads, a somber little girl holds a bone in her hand while a boy leans on the chart, standing atop another bone.  A spiderweb with a looming spider drapes the scene, and in the foreground, a green apothecary jar topped with a skull presides over an eerie eye and red-and-black beetle.  The piece evokes a haunting blend of childhood curiosity, apothecary intrigue, and macabre storytelling.

Display on a bookshelf, mantel, or side table as a striking gothic centerpiece.  Use as a seasonal or Halloween focal point, enhanced by dim lighting to highlight its intricate details.  Perfect for collectors of Victorian, macabre, or oddity art pieces seeking a conversation-starting accent.
