A mill on a polder canal, known as 'In the month of July' ^Sale

Paul Joseph Constantin Gabriël (1889)

Our country is saturated with colour... I repeat, our country is not grey, not even in grey weather, nor are the dunes grey,' wrote Constant Gabriël in a letter. Unlike many Hague School painters, he actually enjoyed depicting a beautiful summer day. There are even two of them in this painting: the image of the grass, sky and mill, and their reflection in the water.
