L'Approche de l'Orage (The Storm's Approach) is a 1875 ink by Jules-Ferdinand Jacquemart, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a small sailboat gliding toward the shore in choppy water. The sky is dark and heavy, with storm clouds gathering over the horizon. In the distance, a few faint buildings and another boat are barely visible through the haze. The title *L'Approche de l'Orage* hints this scene is about an oncoming storm—notice how the waves grow rougher near the boat. The artist used sharp lines to show the tension in the air and water. Check out how this was made using etching.
