L'Orage (The Storm)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural landscape with a view from a slight elevation. The horizon is visible just above the center of the image, dividing the land from the sky filled with clouds. There are cattle grazing in the foreground, and the scene is depicted with varied brushstrokes in a sepia color palette. In the distance, there is a cluster of trees to the right, creating a sense of open space.
