This is an original intaglio etching by the American artist Albert "Al" Kaufman (1928-2005). Kaufman was a prolific printmaker based in Tallman, New York, known for creating his works on a 100-year-old printing press.
This hand-signed and numbered (56) limited edition piece depicts a Jewish scribe (or rabbi) deeply engrossed in a long, flowing scroll, likely a Torah or sacred manuscript. The style is characteristic of Kaufman's Judaica-themed works, featuring expressive, linear linework and a strong sense of texture and history.
The etching is professionally presented in a classic silver metal frame with a thin, square profile that complements its mid-century origin. It is protected under clear glass and enhanced by a single off-white beveled mat, creating a clean border that highlights the intricate linework of the piece. The overall presentation is understated and elegant, making it ready to hang in any gallery or office setting.
