The image is a monochromatic etching featuring two windmills under a vast sky. The point of view is slightly elevated, capturing the windmills prominently. The horizon is situated towards the upper third of the image, with the windmills standing prominently on it. The technique involves detailed cross-hatching and lines creating a textured scene. The color palette is restricted to shades of black and white, emphasizing contrast and form. The ground is depicted with dark lines leading to the windmills and sparse trees, silhouetted against the sky filled with subtle line work hinting at cloud patterns.
