A hurricane at South Kensington is a 1864 by Henry Cole, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a stormy scene with a big archway in the center. The sky is dark and swirling, while the ground looks rough and messy. A building with columns stands behind the arch, and the whole scene feels wild and chaotic. The artist used lots of tiny lines to create shadows and texture, making the storm look even more dramatic. This style was common in detailed sketches from that time. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
