Orage à la Fin du jour

Paul Huet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a body of water stretching into the distance from a slightly elevated viewpoint. A stone bridge crosses a waterway with a pathway next to it, where a figure on horseback is visible. On the right side, there are dense clusters of trees with intricate foliage. The sky is depicted with fine lines, suggesting a cloudy day. The artwork is in monochrome, using black and white to convey depth and detail.
