Patient Leo and Cub

“Patient Leo and Cub” black and white scrishaw on ancient mammoth ivory bark by David Adams. Patient male lion seems to be enduring the cub’s play. Hard to say just how long it will be before the curious cub gets a slap and snarl. Most parents can identify. Adams subtle shading and stipple work are just outstanding on this one. Nice thick piece of mammoth on handsome stand completes the picture.
