Rendered with meticulous detail, each animal's texture and character emerge through the artist's precise scratching technique. The interplay of light and shadow creates depth and movement across the 20\" × 16\" composition, framed to 23\" × 19\" with 1.5\" depth. A compelling study in animal portraiture and technical mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is scratchboard? \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eScratchboard art  is a \u003cspan data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"fOH46b_11\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", \"Helvetica Neue\", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 29, 53);'\u003esubtractive engraving technique\u003c\/span\u003e where artists scratch away a top layer of black India ink to reveal a white or coloured clay layer beneath.
