Jacob van Ruisdael's "Windmühle am Wasser, vorne zwei Kähne" is a masterful example of the artist's signature Dutch landscape style. This simple yet impactful drawing depicts a windmill by the water, with two boats in the foreground. The windmill dominates the center of the composition, its sails outlined against the misty horizon. This drawing, housed in the Städel Museum, showcases Ruisdael's masterful use of graphite to convey texture and atmosphere, leaving a lasting impression of a tranquil, serene scene.
