Something in Common

“Something in Common” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by David Smith. Both the polar bear and orca are kings of their domains, one above water, the other, below. Scrimshander Smith has the two comparing notes during a chance meeting. Curiosity on both sides is evident. Really like the way the bear has his head slightly turned as he sees the orca. Fine composition by one of the best working today.
