A similar painting, dated 1646, is in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Slive writes that the Queen's version shows how much young Ruisdael has progressed in just a few years. The farm and windmill are more set back and reflections of evening light create a freer sense of space. [3]

The painting is catalogue number 130 in Seymour Slive's 2001 catalogue raisonné of Ruisdael. [1] The painting is number 173 in the 1911 catalogue raisonné by art historian Hofstede de Groot, where it is called A View in Holland: Landscape with a Windmill. [4] Its dimensions are 75.6 cm x 100.8 cm. It is signed in the lower left. [1] It is not dated, but Slive writes it is dateable to about 1650. [3]
