A drawing of a landscape swept by a storm, with trees bending in the wind and two cowering figures among startled livestock in the centre of the foreground. There is a building on a hill in the middle ground, on the left.

This drawing is among a group entirely lacking the marked mannerisms of what appears to be Ricci's late style, and can therefore be tentatively classed as early. These drawings are distinguished from the supposed late works by being small in scale and sketchy in quality. Some may be views noted down in front of nature, but in general they seem to be first ideas for imaginary landscapes.
