1817
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Hovell's Mill, Yarmouth is a 1817 by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing depicts a windmill in a landscape, with a few buildings in the background. The mill's sails are positioned at an angle, and the scene is rendered in a range of grays. A notable detail is the texture of the paper, which adds a tactile quality to the image. The drawing is characterized by bold lines and shading, which create a sense of depth and volume.
