"Landscape with a Waterfall, Second Version" is a drawing by Hercules Segers, a Dutch artist known for his innovative landscape work. Created around 1625-1627, it showcases Segers' mastery of etching, a technique he employed to create this detailed and dramatic landscape. The drawing features a deep valley with a rushing waterfall, set against a backdrop of towering cliffs and a hazy sky, exemplifying Segers' interest in depicting natural phenomena with heightened emotion and detail.
