Farm Building Surrounded by Trees
Hercules Segers, c. 1618 - c. 1622
This oil sketch probably came from Segers’ studio estate. The composition may have served as preparation for the adjacent etching (Kupferstich-Kabinett, Dresden, A 49377) and therefore was not a final product, but rather working material.
