Scrimshaw Duck on Fossil Ivory
By Kelly Mulford
A lifelike scrimshaw representation of a mallard duck resting on calm water exhibits the fine detail of this classic art form. The subject is realistically depicted, as is his reflection in the water and the water's ripples which soften in the background to give an impression of depth. Signed and dated, 1994, by the artist. Offered on a custom wood base.
Measures 7 x 4 x 3in
