Liber Studiorum:  Windmill and Lock

About this work

You see a windmill and a lock in this painting. The windmill is the main focus, with the lock in the background. It uses a technique called chiaroscuro, which means using strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of depth, to draw your eye to the windmill, and you can learn more about this at the museum: The Cleveland Museum of Art.
