About the piece

Painted in 1886 by Henri de Braekeleer, this oil on panel work captures a serene moment in the village of Kiel. The composition features a row of red-roofed cottages led by a traditional windmill, all rendered with an expressive, tactile technique that brings life to the overcast Belgian sky and the dusty path in the foreground.
