Vincent explains:

‘I make my studies quite large as you have already seen a few on your visit. For instance, I made a hut on the Heike & also that shed with a moss roof on the Roozendaalschen road which they call the Protestant shed here. Thou mayest remember what I mean. Then the mill just opposite on that meadow & the elm trees in the churchyard.’ Letter to Theo van Gogh. Etten, late May 1881.’

During his Brabant period, Vincent already made numerous drawings and paintings of mills. Presumably in spring 1881, Vincent drew mill De Weltevreden on Roosendaalseweg (demolished in 1974).

Since 14 December 2017, the painting ‘Collse Watermolen’ has hung in the Noordbrabants Museum in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

We get to know Etten and Leur. An inspiring area: Vincent van Gogh made his first works of art here in his father's rectory.

‘And in my opinion, ye and I can do no better than to work after Dutch nature (figure and landscape). Then we are ourselves, then we feel t'home, then we are in our element.’
