Hermes Q Co., Frankfort, No. 70THE STORM BY JULES DUPRE / <* Jules Dupre French: 1812—188970—THE STORM Height, 2iy3 inches; length, 25% inches A rocky headland projects from the right, its ruggedand broken nose slanting irregularly and abruptly intoa sea darkened by an ominous storm cloud. The cloudlies black and heavy, low over the ocean on the right,and behind the bluff. In front of the bluff a large work-ing sloop has been driven upon a sand bar which putsout and crosses the middle distance. It is dotted withrocks, and a low surf is breaking on it, while on itshither side, in the foreground, is a quiet cove. Out atsea on the left some sail are careening in the breeze, andthe sky over all is turbulent, with light clouds seenabove those of the storm, their light reflected on themiddleground bar. Signed at the lower right, Dupre.
