Oliver Lawson Gadwall Pair

Oliver "Tuts" Lawson (b. 1938) Crisfield, MD, 1977 13 in. tall, 24 in. long, 17 in. wide

This is among Lawson's most accomplished and refined decorative works. It features a dynamic pair of raised-wing dabblers in their native situ. Lawson is credited for being one of the first decorative carvers to introduce sophisticated environments. The sandy base is finished with carved grass and carved cherrystone clams. Signed and dated on the back of the driftwood. This is one of the finest decorative carvings that Tuts has executed and one of the best decoratives to come out of Crisfield.

Original paint with light wear, some loss to blades of grass and small chip to tip of hen's tail.
