About the piece

Painted during Claude Monet's travels in the early 1870s, this Impressionist work captures a Dutch windmill overlooking the Onbekende Gracht in Amsterdam. The artist employs his revolutionary broken brushwork to render the shimmering, multi-colored reflections on the water and the shifting atmospheric light of the sky, demonstrating the hallmarks of early Impressionism.
