About this work

Three riders in flowing cloaks and head coverings lean into a strong wind while their horses stand against it on a flat grassy plain. Wind-bent grass and a heavy, stormy sky dominate the composition, which is painted in muted browns, greys and touches of blue. Eugène Fromentin's 1864 painting Windstorm on the Esparto Plains of the Sahara is held by the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia.
