- Abstract
-
"A violent storm of wind and rain strikes prome-naders on the sea-shore. The dress or cloak of a fat woman blows over her head, and her umbrella is blown inside out. A dog stands facing her. A man tries to walk against the wind (right). In the middle distance one man trudges along the sand with his hat tied on, another chases his hat. A boat tosses in the surf, vessels on the horizon lean at a dangerous angle, waves dash against a cliff (right). The heavy clouds are patterned with flashes of lightning."--British Museum online catalogue.
