Bring timeless artistry and natural grace to your wall with this original 1985 scratchboard drawing of a giraffe by Carol Kehler-Hemdal, an American artist registered through Scratchwork in Kouts, Indiana, matted inside the frame. Each line is hand-etched into black ink to reveal the white clay beneath — a meticulous process that gives incredible texture and realism to the giraffe’s portrait.
