About this work

This print shows a flooded field with a fence and a windmill in the distance. The sky is dark and stormy, while the water below is calm. Trees and buildings line the horizon, but everything looks wet and still. The artist used bold lines and shading to show the water’s texture and the fence’s uneven posts. This style makes the scene feel both real and slightly dreamlike. Look up Mary Nimmo Moran next to see how she blended realism with mood in her work.
