Gezicht op een molen aan het water c. 1877 - 1887

Egbert Rubertus Derk Schaap's *Gezicht op een molen aan het water* is a small etching, measuring just 130mm x 160mm, that depicts a windmill silhouetted against a dramatic, cloudy sky. Created between 1877 and 1887, the work showcases Schaap's talent for capturing the atmosphere of the Dutch landscape through subtle use of light and shadow. This etching is a fine example of the artist's focus on capturing the beauty of everyday scenes, particularly those featuring the Dutch countryside, a common subject in Schaap's work.
