About the piece

Painted in 1886 during his time in Paris, this work captures the semi-rural character of Montmartre before its urban development. Van Gogh employs a restrained palette and rhythmic brushwork to depict the iconic windmills against a luminous, breezy sky, reflecting the early influence of French Impressionism on his evolving style.
