Watermill 1600 - 1656

Jan van Everdingen's "Watermill" is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting a watermill on a river. The composition is balanced, with the mill situated in the center and the river winding through the foreground. The artist used precise, delicate lines to render the architecture of the mill, as well as the surrounding trees, grass, and rocks. The drawing exemplifies Everdingen's skill in capturing the natural world and his attention to detail, making it a notable example of Dutch landscape drawings from the 17th century.
