Condition
The canvas has a new and firm relining, the paint surface is relatively clean, and the varnish only slightly discoloured. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals very little apparent intervention, save for some very fine vertical lines of retouching along each margin caused by the stretcher, and some small spot retouchings along the upper and lower margins, and in the sky upper centre, centre right and centre left. The painting is in overall good condition.

拍品資料及來源
Although Borssom's drawings reveal a debt to Rembrandt, his paintings are more eclectic in character, and works such as the present canvas owe much to one of the artists most associated with moonlit scenes, Aert van der Neer, for whose works Borssom's have often been mistaken. In its upright format and dramatic silhouette of the windmill against the gloaming sky, however, this composition stands out amongst his painted œuvre as one that possesses a distinctive character that is all Borssom's own.
