Mountain Valley with a Winding River, Hercules Segers, c. 1622 - c. 1625
lift-ground line etching printed in black on paper, h c.176mm × w c.213mm Catalogue entry
For this print Segers once again used the lift-ground technique, in which the representation is drawn directly on the etching plate with a solution of sugar and ink. As a result the etching resembles a pen drawing. Its first owner noted on the back that he had looked at the sheet together with Segers.
