介绍（中）	这幅画创作于格洛弗20多岁时，在斯塔福德郡利奇菲尔德担任绘图大师，展示了他早期的绘画技巧。当旧水彩协会成立时，他搬到了伦敦，他对1806年该组织第一次展览的贡献促使鲁道夫·阿克曼评论说，"立刻将他的声誉提升到了最大的高度。他的效果的魔力，他作品中普遍存在的真实和美丽，激发了人们对他的绘画的渴望；许多人的申请……足以雇用十位像他这样有能力的艺术家。"目前的作品可能是根据一个夏季巡回演出的草图创作的，后来在工作室开发。松散的前景巨石被泡沫般的海浪和不断上升的浪花所取代，远处的山峰背靠着浮云，一道雨带正朝着沐浴在阳光下的海角方向移动。格洛弗可能用这张纸向学生展示了如何使用笔触和水洗来唤起不同的光线和天气效果。
介绍（英）	Made when Glover was in his twenties and working as a drawing master in Lichfield, Staffordshire, this drawing demonstrates his early skill. When the Old Watercolour Society was established he moved to London, and his contributions to the group's first exhibition in 1806 prompted Rudolph Ackermann to remark that these, “at once raised his reputation to its greatest height. The magic of his effects, the truth and beauty that prevailed in his works, excited the general eagerness to become possessed of his drawings; and the applications from the many…were sufficient to have employed ten artists of his abilities.” The present work may be based on a sketch from a summer tour, later developed in the studio. Loosely painted foreground boulders give way to frothy waves and rising spray, with a distant peak backed by scudding clouds and a band of rain moving toward a headland stilll bathed in sunlight. Glover may have used the sheet to show students how brushwork and washes could be applied to evoke varied light and weather effects.
