Portrait in Shadows

“Portrait in Shadows” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory by David Adams. This is what extraordinary black and white scrimshaw looks like. The subtle use of shading on this beautiful woman is top of the line. No one does better portraits today than David Adams. Captivating work here, mounted on an old stand by the late Ken Fredericks. Two pillars of contemporary scrimshaw. Welcome addition to any scrimshaw collection.
