"Painting: De Huisman windmill, Zaanse Schans, Zaandam, Holland"

Painted by Jacob Poulain 1967
This windmill is called De Huisman located in the Zaanse Schans, Zaandam, Holland 2 kms from my home. I would row in a boat and swim in the river. The windmill is over 300 years old, and to this day they still make mustard, at the time of writing I hold in my hand a jar from my fridge, I bought and imported by a local shop called The Dutch Shop, Havelock North, Hastings, New Zealand.
