The image portrays a landscape with a brooding, dramatic sky occupying the upper two-thirds of the composition. The horizon line is low, dark, swirling clouds dominate the scene. Thin strips of land or low hills are visible at the horizon, with rain falling from the clouds. Tall, windswept grasses are depicted, appearing to twist in a fierce wind.
