- Description
Shows a night-time view of a small one-roomed house whose door has blown open and is letting in wind and rain. A man and woman are in the room; the woman is in bed and the man has got up, probably to close the door. He has an umbrella over his head and holds a candle. The woman also holds an umbrella over her head. A rifle leans against the wall, and there are mice running across the floor. Outside, trees and grass are blown by the wind, making it appear quite stormy.
