This painting depicts a dramatic scene of a stormy weather in the outskirts of a city. The image shows a group of people, including a woman holding a child, running for shelter as a strong gust of wind blows. The stormy sky is dark and foreboding, with lightning illuminating the clouds. In the background, a building with a steeply pitched roof and a large window is visible, suggesting a rural or village setting.
