A village with a prominent windmill, houses, a path, and a large body of water
Detailed Description
A hilly, rural landscape features a village overlooking a body of water. In the midground, slightly to the right of center, a tall, dark windmill with a conical roof and visible sails stands prominently. To its left, a large house with a steep, dark thatched roof is partially visible, surrounded by bare trees and dense bushes. Further to the left and lower, more houses with thatched roofs are nestled on a hillside near the water's edge. In the foreground on the right, a dirt path slopes upwards, bordered by a low, light-colored fence. A small, dark figure walks up this path. The left half of the background features a wide expanse of water, likely a lake or bay, with a small, tree-covered island in the middle. A single sailboat with a dark hull and light sails is visible on the water near the island. A distant, low shoreline stretches across the horizon. The sky above is filled with soft, cloudy formations.
