"L’orage" is a painting by William Bouguereau, depicting two young women huddled together on a stormy shore. The older woman protectively wraps her arm around the younger one, offering comfort and shelter in the face of the raging sea. The painting evokes a sense of vulnerability and resilience as the women stand against the unrelenting force of nature. This piece is a prime example of Bouguereau's academic style, known for its detailed realism and idealized figures.
