A textured, vertically oriented etching depicts a dilapidated wooden windmill with missing planks and a broken roof. The structure sits centered on a dark, cross-braced base. To the left, thin sails reach toward a sky filled with dense, swirling hatched lines. In the foreground, a tangled, spindly bush grows to the right against an uneven ground of heavy, black marks. The composition creates a somber landscape with dramatic shading.
