label: Description
content: Atmosphere and landscape sketch showing a view of a thunderstorm over a mountain ridge (likely the Catskill Escarpment) as seen from the artist's property on Long Hill in Hudson, New York. Stretching horizontally across landscape, a dark storm cloud flows over a mountain range, creating a bulge at center, as it unleashes a torrent of rain on the sloping terrain below. Articulated as diagonal pencil scratches, the rain also falls on a steeper hill at far left.
