"Watermolen: A Watermill" is a painting by Dutch artist Paul Joseph Constantine Gabriel (1828–1903), who was a prominent figure in the Hague School of landscape painters. This work is characteristic of Gabriel's oeuvre, which often depicted the flat, rural landscapes of the Netherlands with a particular emphasis on the play of light and atmosphere. The painting showcases a traditional Dutch watermill set in a serene, pastoral scene, reflecting Gabriel's fascination with water and its reflections, a recurrent theme in his work.

The composition of "Watermolen: A Watermill" is marked by Gabriel's skillful use of color and light to evoke mood and a sense of place. The watermill, often an iconic symbol of Dutch heritage and rural life, is rendered with a naturalistic approach that was typical of the Hague School. Gabriel's technique involved loose brushwork and a subdued palette, which allowed him to capture the transient effects of light and weather on the landscape, a hallmark of his artistic style.

As a member of the Hague School, Gabriel's work was influenced by the French Barbizon School and shared similarities with the Impressionist movement, although it remained distinct in its more restrained use of color and emphasis on the Dutch countryside. "Watermolen: A Watermill" exemplifies the themes of tranquility and the harmonious relationship between man and nature, which were central to Gabriel's artistic vision.

The painting is significant for its contribution to the understanding of the Hague School's impact on the development of landscape painting in the Netherlands during the late 19th century. It is also an important piece for studying the evolution of Dutch landscape art in the context of broader European art movements of the time. "Watermolen: A Watermill" continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of the Dutch rural landscape, securing Gabriel's reputation as one of the leading landscape artists of his generation.
