DescriptionThree views of steep rocky cliffs beside the sea. In two views, waves roll in from the ocean at the left and break on the cliffs at the right. Dark storm clouds are overhead; lightning from the clouds strikes the rocks and sea. In two views, a man wearing long robes stands on the top of the cliff overlooking the sea. In one view, the sea is stormy; in the other, it is calm.
