Holland Canal, near Rotterdam (Canal de Hollande, pres de Rotterdam (Hiver))

Johan Barthold Jongkind

National Gallery of Art

The image is a line drawing of a landscape with a low horizon. A windmill is seen in the distance on the right. The drawing style is sketchy with spontaneous brushstrokes for clouds and foliage. The color palette is monochromatic with black ink on a beige background. A figure is standing by the water, and some distant structures or trees are visible on the horizon. The sky dominates the image with swirling clouds.
