Storm at Arbonne

Französische Grafik 1870–1879, 1878

The painting depicts a rural scene from a slightly elevated perspective. A large stack of hay with a wooden ladder leans against it. A figure tends to a pile of hay at the base. In the background, a village with small cottages and houses surrounded by autumn-colored trees is partially visible. The horizon is low and consists of houses and tree crowns. The sky, rendered in muted shades of gray and beige with soft clouds, occupies more than half of the image. The brushstrokes are smooth and blended, creating a serene, slightly hazy appearance. The color palette is warm and earthy, with browns, soft greens, and grays dominating the scene.
