Oostzijdse Mill along the River Gein by Moonlight by Piet Mondrian, 1903
The person who painted this later became known for stripping everything down to grids of flat colour — no fog, no moonlight, nothing like this left in it at all. It's strange to look at this soft, moonlit scene and picture the same hand ending up there.
Erisava: I think this is basically a very good postcard.

Windmill with Summerhouse II by Piet Mondrian, 1906
Windmills like this show up again and again in Mondrian's early sketches — they say he treated the subject almost like a scale exercise, working the same dark, misty mood over and over before he gave up landscape for good.
Erisava: This looks like an old photo, not something anybody drew.
