1869
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
In Came a Storm of Wind, Rain and Spray - and Portia is a 1869 by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows two women standing near an open door. One woman is adjusting her hat, wearing a long dress with a belt and a high collar. The other woman stands to the side, also in a long dress, with her hands folded. Outside, it looks windy, with rain and spray coming in through the doorway. The title hints this scene might be from a book or story—it’s not just a random moment. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and weather.
