Base of a windmill in Voorburg, print, In the foreground a landing stage on a bank., printmaker: Willem Adrianus Grondhout (signed by artist), 1888 - 1931, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 136 mm x width 195 mm, windmill, Voorburg, A sepia-toned etching shows a thatched-roof cottage and adjacent structures beside a narrow stretch of water. The cottage features steep sloping roofs with textured straw lines, small dark window openings, and a partially visible doorway. A human figure stands near the building facing away, drawn with simple line work. Vegetation, including bushes and tall grasses, grows along the right side and near the water’s edge, rendered with fine, sketchy strokes. A low wooden fence or posts appear beside the cottage, and a small wooden dock or platform extends into the water. In the foreground a round, basket-like object sits partially submerged, and reflections and ripples are indicated on the water’s surface. Overall the image is composed of delicate, linear etching marks on a worn, aged background.
