About this work

This drawing shows a quiet scene of a windmill and a big stone building by a calm pond. The water reflects the trees and swans gliding on the surface. The windmill has a tall wooden frame with sails, and the building behind it looks old with small windows. The artist used soft pencil strokes to keep everything simple and peaceful. The way the light hits the water makes the whole scene feel still. Next, check out how cross-hatching works in other drawings.
