From Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam:
This gate was the entrance to the grounds of the Moulin de la Galette, an entertainment venue on the hill of Montmartre in Paris. The mill was surrounded by a dance hall and cafés, including an outdoor café with a view of the city. The mill was no longer in operation but served as an attraction. The Moulin de la Galette was popular among artists. They went there to dance and drink but also liked to paint there.
