The French School artist skillfully captures every detail of this fascinating mechanism, transporting us back to a time when mills were at the heart of industrial progress. The image reveals a complex network of gears, pulleys, and wheels that power the mill's flour production. Each component is meticulously rendered with precision and clarity, highlighting the ingenuity behind this technological marvel.
