Watermolen c. 1772 - 1828

"Watermolen" (c. 1772-1828) is a small-scale etching by Kilian (I) Ponheimer (1757-1828). The artwork depicts a watermill, a common sight in the Dutch countryside. Ponheimer was known for his detailed and realistic landscapes, which often included watermills and other rural scenes. This etching, measuring just 158 mm x 222 mm, is a delicate and intimate portrayal of the Dutch landscape. The viewer is drawn into the scene by the careful detail of the trees, water, and buildings. The artwork is a testament to Ponheimer's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.
