After the Storm

Description In high seas, a sailboat heeling to starboard tows another boat that has lost its mast and is crowded with huddling figures and tangled rigging. A paddle-wheel steamer is visible against the horizon. The storm is passing and a ray of light is breaking through the scudding clouds at the left.

Provenance William T. Walters, Baltimore, between 1878-1884 [mode of acquisition unknown]; Henry Walters, Baltimore, 1894, by inheritance; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.
