About this work

This drawing shows a lone windmill in a quiet, snowy field. The building is made of dark wood with a slanted roof, and a long ladder leans against one side. A small door sits near the base, and the ground around it is covered in snow and patches of grass. The artist focused on the windmill’s simple, sturdy shape, leaving out any people or movement. The lines are clean and precise, with some shading to show depth. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
