A Long Island Windmill is a 1929 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a windmill standing alone in a rural landscape. The windmill's structure is rendered in dark lines, with a few windows visible on its side. In the foreground, a road or path leads up to the windmill, flanked by bushes and trees. The surrounding landscape stretches out behind the windmill, with rolling hills and fields visible in the distance. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The windmill itself appears sturdy and imposing, while the surrounding landscape is softer and more muted. For more information on the artist's work, look up Hassam, Childe.
