line etching, maculature with oil (that has turned brown) and remains of ink on cream-coloured paper, printing folds top left, h c.113mm × w c.182mm Catalogue entry
Segers here again used a plate he had already printed. He did not re-ink the plate, but used oil instead. Normally, this kind of impression served to clean the plate. The oil turned brown later.
