From 1882 to 1884, Schindler spent the summer months with his family in Goisern. Around 1884, he chose the mill of Gschwandt near Goisern as a recurring motif for studies of the changing quality of light and weather conditions and as an object reflecting hist interest in moods at different times of the day and the year.
In his painting, as in many of the artist's pictures tha are dominated by his favourite broken grey, green and brown hues, attention to realistic detail is restricted to the near foreground with the destroyed bridge and weir. The rest of the picture is painted with free, sketchy strokes.
