The print was described as follows in the official catalogue for the art of J.K. Dinesen at the Seattle World's Fair.
"The rain has stopped but through some subtle communication the artist has convinced us that the rain drops will soon be falling again. The path of light reflected from a sunlit cloud adds hope and airiness."
