"Oliemolen" is a detailed technical drawing by Dutch artist Jan Brandes from 1787-1808. The drawing depicts a complex machinery system, likely for oil production, using an ox for power. Brandes' meticulous attention to detail is evident in his rendering of the gears, wheels, and other mechanical components. This drawing exemplifies the meticulous and practical nature of technical illustration during the late 18th century.
