The low horizon of this work, as with most other works of a similar nature, was ideally suited to exploiting in full the possibilities for depicting dramatic climatic conditions. The suggested speed of the heavy clouds shown in the painting reflects the turbulent waves; the wind-blown tree and rolling barrel punctuate the wind-swept expanse.
