A Thatch-Roofed House with a Water Mill

A Thatch-Roofed House with a Water Mill, also known as Water Mill near a Farm, is a 17th-century oil on panel painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Jacob van Ruisdael.

It is in the collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.

[1][2] English painter John Constable saw the painting in 1826 and wrote "It haunts my mind and clings to my heart".

The monogram uses two different hues to give a three dimensional effect, a technique Ruisdael applied in a few other paintings that were actually dated 1652 and 1653.

[3] Museum Boymans van Beuningen dates it circa 1660.
