Molen tussen de Haarlemmerpoort en het Leidse Bosje 1903

"Molen tussen de Haarlemmerpoort en het Leidse Bosje" (1903) by Dutch artist Pieter H.J.J. Ras (1857-1941) captures a peaceful scene of a windmill standing beside a canal. This watercolor painting, housed in the Rijksmuseum, uses a light, airy palette and loose brushstrokes to depict the rural setting. The windmill, a prominent feature, stands tall against a backdrop of trees and a calm waterway, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere. Ras's depiction of the Dutch landscape exemplifies his skillful handling of watercolor, resulting in a delicate and charming work of art.
