Flour mill at Rye, Sussex is a 1925 by Robert Arthur Wilson, depicting Windmill, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a tall windmill with four blades, standing next to a small house with a sloped roof. In front of the house, a fence runs along a snowy path, and two people walk near a frozen pond. The background has bare trees and a few other buildings, all drawn in simple, flat shapes. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to keep things looking light and quick. The windmill’s blades are dark against the pale sky, making it stand out. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
Robert Arthur Wilson (1884–1975) was an artist, born in Sunderland.
