MEYNDERT HOBBEMA (AMSTERDAM 1638-AMSTERDAM 1709)

A Watermill beside a Woody Lane

Signed and dated 1665 or 1668

RCIN 404577

Watermills were a common motif in Hobbema’s paintings. The well-worn mill here looks in need of a new roof, and is probably based on an actual building in Deventer. The scene appears both real and fictional – a charming vision of fairytale innocence. Acquired by George IV in 1814 No. 20
