Getting started with the collection:
Mountain Valley with Fenced Fields
line etching and drypoint in blue, with plate tone, coloured with the brush, second state of two, c. 1625–1630
Segers printed this nocturnal scene with a generous amount of plate tone: he did not wipe all of the ink from the etching plate. Next he overpainted the impression with blue watercolour. The valley seems bathed in the light of an invisible moon.
