About the piece
Painted around 1650 by the Dutch master Jacob van Ruisdael, this work captures the dramatic interplay of light and shadow over a rural scene. The composition centers on the rushing white water of the sluice, contrasted against the weathered textures of the timber-framed mills and a vast, atmospheric sky.
