It's very good English. In Scandinavia this structure is called a relative clause equivalent, but I think in the Anglo-Saxon world the term "reduced clause" is commonly used. What I don't like is having He as the subject and by him as the agent — in other words, the same person.

I would say He showed me the picture [that/which] he had taken.
