About this work

This print shows a small windmill beside a dirt road. Trees frame the scene in soft light. A dog walks ahead of two people on the path. The artist made it in 1829. He used a special print method called mezzotint. It lets him create smooth shadows and rich blacks. This technique was popular for landscapes then. Try prints by Lucas, David next.
