Mill below a Waterfall

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pastoral scene with trees, buildings, rocky terrain, water, and a watermill. The landscape is captured in a detailed etching style with fine brushstrokes and cross-hatching, creating texture and depth. The color palette is monochromatic, with dark ink lines on a lighter background emphasizing light and shadow. Closest to the viewer are rocky terrain and a watermill, surrounded by trees. Further away, small cottages are nestled among trees and lush vegetation.
