About this work

You see a windmill in a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The painting looks simple, but it has a lot of detail in the brushstrokes. The artist used these details to show the texture of the windmill and trees, which makes the scene feel more real. You can learn more about this style by looking up the technique of sfumato.
