Mill with Bridge and Figures is a 1773 graphite by Louis Gabriel Moreau the Elder, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a mill, bridge, and figures. The mill is a central focus, with a bridge leading to it and a few people standing nearby. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and a stream running through it. The painting is rendered in watercolor over graphite on laid paper, giving it a soft and delicate appearance. The use of watercolor adds a sense of subtlety and nuance to the scene, while the graphite provides a sense of depth and texture. The painting is a great example of the Baroque style, with its emphasis on light and shadow, and its use of rich colors and textures.
