This print shows a woman in a flowing dress, half-turned away. Her hair is loose, and she holds a rose to her chest. The background is dark, with swirling lines that look like stormy clouds or wind. The artist used scratchy, uneven lines to create drama—like the wind itself. The title *Thunder* hints this might be about sudden emotion or change.
