Horses Running before a Storm
1930

A watercolor painting depicting a group of horses in motion across a grassy landscape. The sky above is dark and stormy, suggesting an impending storm, while the horses appear in various shades of white, gray, and brown, with their manes and tails flowing in the wind. The artwork captures a sense of movement and the wildness of nature.
