A signed artist’s proof etching on paper titled Davids’ Kitchen Road by listed American artist and educator Herbert Fink (1921-2006), created in 1970.

The artist captures the intricate details and textures of the tree bark and curvilinear branches with precise, careful delineations. The work is signed and dated by hand in graphite to the lower right; it is titled and marked ’artist’s proof’ to the lower left. Presented under glass, double-matted with off-white and gray mats, and housed in a gold-tone wood frame.
