This is a composition of a chase of a wild boar by wolves.
It is carved into the mammoth tusk which is fixed onto the wooden stand.
The animals are caught in movement, and make the focus of the composition. Besides, the background of the forest is of no less importance in this scene, which can be observed in careful and detailed finish of the branches and leaves and their position enhancing the tension of the scene.
Sudden Encounter
This is a composition depicting a sudden encounter of a hunter with his dog and a huge bear, deep in the woods. The subject was inspired by the work of the famous Russian wildlife artist V.Gorbatov.
Внезапная встреча
Данная композиция изображает внезапную встречу охотника с собакой и огромным медведем в глубине леса. Сюжет навеян творчеством известного русского художника-натуралиста В.Горбатова.
This is another interpretation of the bear-in-a-village scene with a slightly different representation of the background (the old tree trunk) and the bear's posture and gait. The master applied relief carving and toning.
