When Albert Bierstadt lived in Dusseldorf , Albert Bierstadt made exended sketching trips. From his studies, he created several intimate landscape oil paintings. In these oil paintings , a house, a barn, or a mill was placed in the middle distance, often near a pond or a brook. Rather than emphasize particular activities or suggest and anecdote, Albert Bierstadt prefered to concerntrate on general settings or typical scenes. This suggests that in the early stage of his art career , Albert Bierstadt had already been more interested in landscape than gener. Although the mill is in the central of " a rustic mill", it also could be considered as a decorative accessory. A touch of the indians Bierstadt used as scenic additions in later works.
Oil Paintings from this period have been linked with those of worthington whittredge with whom Albert Bierstadt lived in Dusseldorf.
