"A Forest Floor Still-Life with a Lizard, Butterflies, Snails and a Snake" is a Baroque-era painting by Flemish artist Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton (1668–1754). This work exemplifies the forest floor still-life genre, a subcategory of still-life painting that flourished in the 17th century, particularly in the Netherlands and the Dutch-influenced artists of the Southern Netherlands, which included present-day Belgium where de Hamilton was active.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its rich representation of flora and fauna. De Hamilton's composition captures a vibrant scene of life and decay on the forest floor, a subject that was intended to remind viewers of the transience of life and the inexorable passage of time. The artwork features a variety of creatures, including a lizard, butterflies, snails, and a snake, all rendered with a high degree of naturalism. These creatures are often depicted amidst an array of wildflowers, mushrooms, and other plant life, which are painted with equal precision.

Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton was known for his skill in painting intricate and realistic depictions of nature, and this painting is a testament to his mastery of texture, color, and light. The interplay of these elements creates a lively tableau that invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the natural world.

The painting not only serves as an example of de Hamilton's artistic prowess but also reflects the scientific curiosity of the age, with artists and collectors taking an interest in the study and classification of plants and animals. This interest was part of a broader cultural movement that included the development of natural history as a scientific field.

"A Forest Floor Still-Life with a Lizard, Butterflies, Snails and a Snake" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an artifact of the cultural and intellectual milieu of its time. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of Carl Wilhelm de Hamilton and continues to be studied for its contributions to the still-life genre and its reflection of 17th-century European art and thought.
