The Windmill on the Onbekende Gracht, Amsterdam is a 1874 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, depicting Windmill, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a windmill standing on the bank of a canal. The windmill is in the center, with its blades reaching up into the sky. The canal reflects the colors of the buildings and the sky. In the background, there are buildings along the canal, and the sky is painted with soft, feathery clouds. The overall effect is one of a peaceful, serene scene.
