Peter Mack's Mill, Newington, Kent is a 1933 by Robert Arthur Wilson, depicting Windmill, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a tall wooden windmill with four big sails, standing beside a small stone house. A man in old-fashioned clothes is bent over, picking something from a garden full of plants. The windmill has a ladder leading up to its top, and the house has a few small windows with curtains. The artist focused on simple shapes and textures—notice how the windmill’s wood looks rough, while the man’s clothes are drawn with fine lines. This kind of careful linework is called cross-hatching. Check out how the artist used cross-hatching to create depth and shading.
Robert Arthur Wilson (1884–1975) was an artist, born in Sunderland.
