Enclosed Valley by Hercules Seghers: A landscape drawing of a valley with steep cliffs on both sides; the valley floor contains trees and what appears to be a town or village; the sky is cloudy. The drawing is rendered in shades of brown and gray on a rectangular piece of paper with angled corners, giving it an irregular octagonal shape. The cliffs on either side are rugged and rocky, with visible texture suggesting rough stone. The valley floor is more detailed with darker shading used for trees and buildings. The sky above has scattered clouds. The artwork appears to be an etching or engraving.
