Le Moulin

Rembrandt van Rijn, 1641

The image is a black and white etching showing a windmill from a side perspective. The windmill's structure is detailed, with its sails extending upward and to the left. The fine lines and cross-hatching in the etching depict textures like the brickwork of the windmill and the thatched roof. The landscape extends into the distance with sparse buildings and an open sky. The color palette is limited to black, gray, and off-white tones.
