Towing a Boat in a Rainstorm

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with a boat being towed in a rainstorm. The scene is circular and centered on a beige background. The circular scene shows a dark and cloudy sky with rain falling. In the foreground, a boat is being towed by a line from the shore. There are trees on the shore, mostly on the right side. The trees have many branches and are depicted in dark colors. The water appears choppy due to the rainstorm. There are several red seals or stamps on the beige background around the circular scene. One large red seal with a white border is located on the top right. The colors used are dark and muted, with beige, dark grays, and reds. The style appears traditional and classic.
