Village with Windmill and Church 1777

"Village with Windmill and Church" is a 1777 pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Paul Theodor van Brussel. The detailed yet loose depiction of a windmill, church, and surrounding village, along with figures, is a characteristic of his landscape work. This piece, held at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a study of rural life in the Netherlands, with the artist capturing the simplicity of daily life in a small village.
