Anthonie van Borssom, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes, captured a picturesque scene in his drawing "Landschaft mit Schiffshebewerk und Mühle." The artwork depicts a windmill and a boat lift, a common sight in the Dutch countryside, alongside a tranquil canal. The windmill, positioned on a small hill overlooking a canal, is a stark reminder of the vital role windmills played in the Netherlands' history. The peaceful setting and meticulous detail of the boats, the bridge, and the surrounding landscape is characteristic of van Borssom's style, highlighting the artist's keen eye for capturing the nuances of his surroundings. The drawing is now part of the Städel Museum's collection, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of 17th-century Dutch landscapes.
