content: Architecture and landscape sketch showing a view of a rustic mill nestled in dense woods in the European Alps. Situated in the middle distance at center left, the mill is constructed of logs and has a large wheel, visible at center, and is propelled by the stream that flows toward the viewer at lower center. The lower right corner, a road follows the stream before curving out of view to the right. In the background, a mass of evergreen trees backdrops the scene, while a mountain ridge is faintly rendered at upper right.
