The painting measures 234.3 cm × 156.2 cm (92.2 in × 61.5 in) and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it has been since it was acquired in 1880.

The artwork captures a moment of intense emotion and intimacy as the couple, draped in flowing classical garments, seek shelter from an impending storm. The young man, with a protective arm around the woman, gazes into the distance, while the woman clings to him, her gaze turned towards the viewer, adding a sense of immediacy and connection. The dynamic composition, combined with the soft, diffused lighting and the detailed rendering of the figures and the natural environment, contributes to the painting's evocative and sensuous appeal.

Cot, a student of the famous academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, was known for his skillful technique and the clarity of his compositions. "The Storm" is often cited as a prime example of the romantic themes and technical proficiency that characterized the academic art of the period. The painting has been interpreted in various ways, with some suggesting allegorical readings related to love, nature, and human emotion, while others appreciate it for its aesthetic beauty and romantic portrayal of youthful love.

Since its creation, "The Storm" has enjoyed considerable popularity, becoming one of Cot's most famous works. It has been reproduced in various forms and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, scholars, and the general public, who are drawn to its romantic allure and the technical mastery of its creator.
