The composition is presented within a softly cut, polygonal mat, framing a gently animated landscape of sloping terrain, scattered houses, and several mills turning against a warm, atmospheric sky. Executed with delicate washes and light tonal transitions, the scene balances architectural detail with a sense of open space, the palette moving through sandy ochres, muted greens, and pale blues. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe subject reflects Montmartre before its urban transformation, when the hill was still rural in character, dotted with working windmills and small structures.
