About this work

This sketch shows a tall, weathered windmill with its blades missing or broken. Next to it is a small, slanted-roof building labeled "CASINO" in faded letters. The ground is rough, with scattered rocks and a hint of a path leading away. The windmill’s blades are drawn with quick, angled lines, giving them a jagged look. The artist focused on the worn, rusty details of the metal parts. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
