Overhaal en een molen buiten Amsterdam 1660 - 1677

Anthonie van Borssom's "Overhaal en een molen buiten Amsterdam" is a pen and brown wash drawing that depicts a windmill and a boat, likely a ferry, on a canal outside Amsterdam. The windmill is prominently displayed with its sails extended, indicating it is in operation. The composition is characterized by a subtle use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and realism. This drawing was likely created between 1660 and 1677, reflecting the artist's interest in the Dutch countryside and its traditional industries. The artwork also showcases Van Borssom's talent for capturing the details of daily life, including the small figures on the pier and the boats moored along the canal.
