The mill after it was tail winded (i.e. the wind blew from behind the sails) and the cap and four sails were blown off in a violent storm. Shows a man, presumably the miller, standing on the wreckage of the sails in front of the mill and the brake wheel protruding from the debris of the cap on top of the tower.
