1829
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A water-mill is a 1829 by Thomas Sidney Cooper, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a simple water mill with a slanted roof, sitting next to a river. The building looks old, with rough stone walls and a small wheel turning in the water. Around it, a few trees and a small hut are drawn in quick, light lines. The artist didn’t smooth out the details—instead, they used fast, uneven strokes to show the textures. This sketch feels more like a quick note than a finished drawing. Want to see more sketches like this? Check out cross-hatching.
