Stammer Mill with Streaked Sky 1906

"Stammer Mill with Streaked Sky" (1906) by Piet Mondrian depicts a windmill silhouetted against a dramatic evening sky. The artist's early style is evident in the brushstrokes and use of color, with a focus on capturing the atmosphere of the scene. The windmill, a common motif in Dutch art, serves as a symbol of rural life and the passage of time. The painting, originally part of a series of windmill studies, reflects Mondrian's gradual development towards abstract art, foreshadowing his later geometric compositions.
