notes: label: Catalogue Status
content: Research in Progress
label: Description
content: Perspective view of ships caught in a storm, likely the St. Lawrence River. The print is significantly damaged, missing most of the bottom left corner. Several pieces of hand-colored paper are missing from top and bottom right corner. A t center, a ship on fire is tossed towards the left in turbulent waters. The fire is rendered through hand-colored paper, visible through cut-out portions of the print. Part of the sky has been cut out in the same manner, with blue and red hand coloring. The sky is filled with gray storm clouds, and at left, a pair of women perch on a rocky outcropping. One stands with her hands clasped, skirt and apron billowing around her. The other reclines along the rock, crying and holding a handkerchief to her face.
