Before the Storm, etching on paper (1975) Gravures & estampes par Nikolay Shelest

Before the Storm, etching on paper, Mykola Shelest, Socialist Realism, 1975, 4/10, 38.8 х 36 cm. (19.97" х 14.17")

Is an intricately detailed etching on paper that captures a serene moment on the beach just before an impending storm. Three small fishing boats gently anchor near the sandy shore, while calm waters ripple beneath them. In the background, an expansive body of water leads to distant hills, creating a tranquil coastal scene.

The sky above is a masterpiece of intricately drawn clouds, detailed and textured, subtly hinting at the imminent change in weather. The clouds, full of intricate details, forecast an approaching storm with the promise of thunder. Amidst the dense cloud cover, two birds gracefully soar, introducing a sense of movement to the otherwise tranquil scene. This artwork skillfully conveys the delicate balance between the calmness of the present moment and the anticipation of nature's imminent forces.
