The image shows a landscape with a windmill as the central element. The horizon is high in the composition, intersecting the windmill. The land curves slightly towards the windmill and slopes gently towards a body of water on the right. The brushstrokes are fine and meticulous, resembling engraving or etching, creating detailed textures and tonal variations. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black, white, and grey. In the foreground, there are figures engaged in daily tasks, with a boat and another figure visible on the water in the distance.
