"Windmill on a Hill" is a watercolor painting by the English artist John Sell Cotman (1782–1842), who is renowned for his contributions to the Norwich School of painters and for his works that capture the beauty of the English countryside. Although the exact date of creation for this particular piece is not well-documented, Cotman's active period as an artist suggests it would have been produced in the late 18th or early 19th century, a time when he was known for his landscape paintings and architectural studies.

The painting depicts a pastoral scene centered around a windmill perched atop a hill, a subject that reflects Cotman's fascination with rural England and its structures. His use of watercolor is characterized by a delicate touch and a masterful handling of light and shade, which imbues the scene with a sense of tranquility and atmospheric depth. The windmill, often a symbol of rural life and agricultural heritage, is rendered with architectural accuracy, yet it is the interplay of natural light and the artist's subtle color palette that conveys the serene mood of the landscape.

John Sell Cotman's work, including "Windmill on a Hill," is significant for its influence on the development of watercolor as a respected medium in British art. His landscapes are celebrated for their clarity, simplicity, and the artist's innovative approach to composition and color. While "Windmill on a Hill" may not be as widely recognized as some of Cotman's other works, it exemplifies the qualities that have earned him a lasting place in the canon of British art.

As an artist, Cotman is often associated with the picturesque and the Romantic movement, though his style remained distinctively his own. His paintings are held in various public and private collections, and they continue to be studied and admired for their contribution to the watercolor tradition and their evocative portrayal of the English landscape. "Windmill on a Hill" represents a piece of this legacy, capturing a moment of rural peace and the timeless beauty of the English countryside as seen through Cotman's eyes.
