Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image depicts a pencil sketch with a windmill on the left side of the middle-aligned horizon. The sketch features light and sketchy brushstrokes outlining forms, giving it an unfinished look. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of gray. Two faintly sketched figures are nearest to us, one seated near water and the other standing to the right. More figures are visible in the distance, adding depth to the landscape. The composition is minimal, focusing on the serene landscape with the windmill as a focal point.
