The artwork is a watercolor landscape dominated by earthy tones of brown, green, and gray, under a pale yellow-tinted sky. The scene unfolds along a waterfront where a wooden structure, resembling a dock or partially submerged planks, extends into the water, creating a sense of depth in the foreground.

On the left side of the piece, there is a grassy bank dotted with low-lying vegetation and a few taller, slender trees. A simple, gabled building, possibly a barn or shed, stands amongst the greenery, adding a human element to the natural setting. A fence line, indicated by vertical posts, suggests a boundary or enclosure.

The focal point of the composition is a windmill, rising prominently in the middle-ground. Its blades are positioned in a way that suggests a gentle breeze, and its structural details are rendered with enough precision to discern its functional design. The windmill is flanked by lush foliage, which adds a textural contrast to the smoother surfaces of the building and the sky.

In the background, the view opens up to a body of water, and on the opposite shore, there's a suggestion of more distant buildings and trees, softened by the haze. The overall effect is one of tranquility and captures the essence of a rural, possibly Dutch or European, landscape. The loose brushstrokes and the muted color palette contribute to a sense of calm and nostalgia, giving the impression of a scene observed from a distance, both in space and time.
