The image depicts a drawing of a tree struck by lightning. The tree, while heavily damaged and with parts of it set ablaze from the lightning strike, is still standing. The scene shows a dramatic sky with clouds that suggest a stormy atmosphere, perhaps the same storm during which the tree was struck. Smoke arises from the point of lightning impact, indicating the violence of the strike. Below the drawing, there is a caption in French: "PAUVRE FRANCHE!... LE TRONC EST FOUDROYÉ, MAIS LES RACINES TIENNENT BON!" Translated into English, it means "POOR THING!... THE TRUNK IS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, BUT THE ROOTS HOLD STRONG!" The sketch is quite detailed and seems to capture both the resilience of nature and the destructive force of elements like lightning. The drawing is in a portrait format and appears to be part of a collection, considering there is a numbering (9) at the bottom right corner.

The image "The Plough" by Gustave Doré is a captivating piece that showcases the artist's skill in depicting the human condition and the natural world. The painting features a ploughman, likely a peasant, engaged in the arduous task of ploughing a field. The ploughman is shown with his back to the viewer, emphasizing the physical labor and dedication required for agriculture. The scene is set against a backdrop of a vast, open landscape, which serves to highlight the isolation and solitude of the ploughman's work. Doré's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures, adds depth and drama to the painting. The contrast between the warm tones of the ploughman's clothing and the cool tones of the landscape creates a sense of tension and emphasizes the ploughman's struggle against the elements. The painting also features a sense of movement, as the ploughman is shown in mid-action, pulling the plough through the field. This sense of dynamism adds energy to the painting and draws the viewer's eye to the center of the composition. Overall, "The Plough" is a powerful and evocative painting that captures the beauty and hardship of rural life. Doré's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his attention to detail and composition, creates a painting that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
