Landschap met molen 1832 - 1865

"Landschap met molen" (Landscape with windmill) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Joseph Hartogensis (1822-1865), currently held in the Rijksmuseum. Painted between 1832 and 1865, the artwork depicts a windmill in a rural landscape. The scene is dominated by the windmill's structure, which is partially obscured by a nearby tree. In the foreground, two figures can be seen walking towards the windmill, suggesting a sense of movement and life in the otherwise quiet scene. The muted color palette and delicate brushstrokes contribute to the overall impression of a peaceful and tranquil Dutch countryside.
