View of the Mill and Bridge on the Noordwest Buitensingel in The Hague

Niederländische Malerei 1675–1907, 1873

This painting displays a landscape with two windmills, one in the center and one in the distance on the right. The windmills are on the other side of a gray body of water that reflects the green and brown surroundings, with the grassy bank closer to us visible at the bottom of the painting. A blue boat is in the water, right below the main windmill. On the right a bridge seems to cross the water, framed by white railing. Two people seem to walk across the bridge towards the central windmill, one adult and one child, both dark silhouettes against the sky. On the left are leafless trees in front of green fields leading into the distance, and there are low reddish-brown buildings around the windmills in the center and on the right. The sky is pale grey, with some areas of light blue peeking through the clouds.
