Paul Müller-Kaempff

Farmstead and Mill in Wintery Ahrenshoop

Oil on canvas. 80 x 120 cm.
Signed lower left: P. Müller-Kaempff.

The windmill in Ahrenshoop appears as a motif several times in Paul Müller-Kaempff's work. In the present painting, it is largely obscured by a farmhouse on the right edge of the picture, but remains recognisable. "Thus the viewer has an open view to the horizon and can see the wintry evening light as the last rays of the sun set over the snow-covered plain." (K. Mahlfeld, op. cit.)
