label: Description
content: Incomplete landscape sketch showing a view of tumultuous and color clouds above a wooded landscape. The lower portion of the composition is not rendered, and leaves the grayish ground visible. At center right, a loosely rendered grove of trees is visible within a gently rolling landscape that extends horizontally across the composition. The clouds above, comprising most of the scene, are extremely loose and seemingly windswept. A center and center left, a burst of yellow, red, and purple light is visible.
