This watercolor shows a quiet scene of a wooden windmill labeled "TOLET" next to a small, weathered house. The windmill’s blades are still, and the sky above is soft with light clouds. A fence runs along the right side, with a few trees and distant hills in the background. The word "TOLET" on the windmill might be a playful twist—it’s not a real name, just a quirky touch. The painting feels like a snapshot of everyday life, not a grand scene. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
