Landscape with Mill

Seth Wells Cheney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a rural landscape with a tall, cylindrical tower on a hill. The horizon is low, with the land gently sloping downwards on the right. A large rock or boulder is near the tower. The sketch is monochromatic, using shades of gray to depict the scene. The background is empty, highlighting the solitude of the landscape and the windmill structure.
