This sketch shows a quiet hillside scene with a windmill and a few small houses. The ground is plowed in neat rows, and a fence runs along the top of the hill. Trees are bare, and a couple of people are scattered near the buildings. The windmill has four sails and a wooden frame, standing out against the sky. The artist signed it "E. Bejot" in the corner, along with the year 1915. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hurried feel, like a snapshot of a moment. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
