This is a drawing of a scene with tumultuous skies and figures at the forefront. The image depicts weather with swirling dark clouds and a sense of turbulence in the sky above. There are abstracted forms that suggest an intense storm with a central vertical shape. In the foreground, several figures can be seen with the impression of movement and urgency. The overall effect is one of interplay between the forces of nature and the figures. The use of bold lines and heavy shading techniques adds to the intensity of the composition.
