The Windmill is a 1854 unspecified by Jules Dupré, a Barbizon school work, depicting Windmill, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
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.
Jules Louis Dupré (French pronunciation: ; April 5, 1811 – October 6, 1889) was a French painter, one of the chief members of the Barbizon school of landscape painters.
