Pintail Drake
Mark S. McNair (b. 1950)
Craddockville, VA, 2024
19 1/2 in. long
A modern classic pintail with a turned head, incised primary detail, combed paint, and a long inlaid hardwood tail. This was the artist's favorite example from the small group he was carving during the "Modern Huntsman" shoot. The underside of the hollow body bears McNair's incised signature.
This decoy was made when Modern Huntsman photographed McNair in his workshop for their cover feature on the carver in Volume 11.
Original paint with minimal wear.
Literature: Noah Davis, "The Hand of the Master," Modern Huntsman, Vol. 11, pp. 101-105, this pintail group in the workshop illustrated.Condition
