A painting showing a mill building, water wheel and dam somehow wound up in the Tide Mill Institute’s collection of miscellaneous items about ten years ago. It has no identification of any kind, except for an almost unintelligible signature in the lower left that appears to start with the characters H and N.
Two questions about it come immediately to mind:
- Is it a tide mill?
- Does it depict an actual location or is it a scene from the artist’s imagination?
