Old Mill, near Dolgelly is a 1808 watercolor by Sasse, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a serene scene of an old mill near Dolgelly. In the foreground, a stream runs through the center, with rocks and grassy banks on either side. The mill itself is made of wood and has a sloping roof, with smoke rising from the chimney. A person stands on the bank, looking out at the viewer. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft colors that evoke a sense of calmness. The artist has used gentle brushstrokes to capture the texture of the wood and the movement of the stream.
