Small Wooded Landscape with a Road and a House c. 1618 - 1622

"Small Wooded Landscape with a Road and a House" is a small etching by Dutch artist Hercules Segers, created between 1618 and 1622. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a dense, almost impenetrable forest with a narrow path leading towards a small structure in the distance. The detail of the trees and leaves is extraordinary, rendered with intricate lines that suggest a sense of depth and mystery. Segers, known for his pioneering work in etching, captured the essence of the natural world with remarkable realism and expressive power. This artwork reflects his unique artistic vision and influence on landscape art.
