Getting started with the collection:
Valley with a River and a Town with Four Towers
line etching and drypoint in blue, on a grey-green ground, coloured with the brush, only state, c. 1626–1627
The roads, buildings, and rocks in this etching are a claret colour. The same elements in the painting are coloured brown, pink, and red. This makes it plausible that Segers wielded the brush himself in both works.
