Twee molens aan een waterkant c. 1909s

"Twee molens aan een waterkant" (Two Windmills on a Waterside) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Alexander Schilling, created around the 1900s. The drawing, likely part of Schilling's sketchbooks, captures a quick impression of two windmills, their blades partially visible, situated along a waterside. The style is typical of Schilling's, using quick and gestural lines to capture the essence of the scene. This sketch showcases the artist's interest in capturing the everyday beauty of the Dutch landscape, using a minimalist approach and a focus on light and shadow. The subject, windmills, is iconic in Dutch art, and Schilling's depiction of them provides a glimpse into his artistic process and his appreciation for the Dutch countryside.
