A Storm is a 1619 ink by Moyses van Uyttenbroeck, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a woman running towards a shelter, fleeing a storm. She is nude and her hair is disheveled. The woman is holding a cloth in her right hand and appears to be trying to protect herself from the wind and rain. The scene is set in a rural landscape with trees and hills in the background. The sky is dark and stormy, with lightning illuminating the clouds. The overall mood of the etching is one of turmoil and chaos, with the woman struggling to find shelter from the storm. The artist's use of bold lines and dramatic lighting creates a sense of energy and movement in the etching. For more information on the technique used in this etching, you can look up etching.
