Watercolor painting of a tropical coastal scene titled "Hurricane, Bahamas" by Winslow Homer. The scene depicts a row of buildings in the foreground with triangular and gable roofs; the roofs are shades of gray, brown and red. The building on the left has a covered porch with four openings and a striped wall below. The buildings appear worn and weathered. Behind the buildings are several palm trees blowing in the wind; their leaves are bent to the right. The sky above is filled with dark, stormy clouds, mostly gray and white. The ocean is visible on the left with small waves. The entire scene conveys a sense of turbulent weather.
