"Watermill" is a watercolor painting by Ernst Erwin Oehme, a German artist known for his picturesque landscapes and rural scenes. Created between 1865 and 1875, the artwork showcases Oehme's mastery of the medium, capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow on a rustic watermill. The composition features a simple yet evocative scene, with the mill's weathered exterior and the figures of a woman and a child adding a touch of human scale to the landscape. This piece is a testament to Oehme's ability to depict everyday life in a romantic and nostalgic light, making it a popular choice among collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
