Storm Clouds over Water (Long Island Sound?) (from Sketchbook)

Henry Ward Ranger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Monochromatic pencil drawing on white paper. The drawing depicts a landscape divided into two main sections: a body of water at the bottom and a sky with clouds at the top. The water is drawn with simple, wavy lines suggesting movement. The sky occupies most of the drawing and features a large, dark cloud mass on the right side, with lighter areas suggesting sunlight or clearer sky on the left. A thin, dark line frames the drawing on the left and right sides. Small, illegible text is in the bottom-left corner.
