The large wooden water wheel, the weathered board walls, the small windows and balcony, the steep shingled roof with its brick chimney and the wooden steps are all drawn with close attention to structure and texture, while mature trees and tall firs frame the building on every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image is built entirely from fine lines. Closely spaced hatching gives the dark timber surfaces of the mill, cross-hatching deepens the shadows, and shorter, irregular strokes describe the rocks, reeds and moving water. Clusters of tiny curled marks suggest leaves and undergrowth, and areas of untouched paper are left as highlights, which gives the scene its strong contrast of light and shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject belongs to the long tradition of the picturesque rural landscape, in which old mills, bridges and cottages stand for craftsmanship, country life and the meeting of human building with the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt A4 size it suits a study, library, hallway, cabin or cottage interior, or a gallery wall of black-and-white works on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle: Old Water Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Unknown; no visible signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: Undated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Print of a pen-and-ink drawing, on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique of the drawing: Pen and ink, hatching and cross-hatching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 21 × 29.7 cm (A4, 8.3 × 11.7 in), portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black and cream, monochrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Traditional architectural landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Water mill, woodland, rural architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA print, not an original drawing.
