A Mill

David Lucas after John Constable

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a windmill on the left side, with the horizon placed low in the composition. Along the horizon are structures and treetops. The brushstrokes are varied and expressive, capturing movement and light through blends and lines. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of browns and grays. Closest to us are a path and shaded buildings, while in the distance are additional structures and fields under a sky filled with clouds and birds.
