After the Storm

Eugène Isabey (French, 1803-1886) (Artist)
1844
oil on canvas
(18th and 19th Centuries )

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.
