"Watermolen en overtoom" is an etching by Cornelis Meijer dating from sometime between 1677 and 1696. The image depicts a watermill, or waterwheel, designed to grind marble. The waterwheel is located on a platform that extends over a canal, and the drawing includes labelled details such as "A," "B," and "F," which likely correspond to different parts of the mill. Meijer was a Dutch draughtsman known for his intricate depictions of machinery and technological innovations, and this etching is a good example of his detailed and technical style.
