Sketch for "Approaching Thunder Storm"

Martin Johnson Heade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper, landscape orientation. A body of water spans the center with a distant shoreline. A small boat with a triangular sail on the left. Illegible handwritten text above the water. Distant mountains or hills along the horizon. A few small figures and animals on the right side near the water. The paper has darker edges and lighter center, with some darker spots and stains.
