The painting is part of a collection of work depicting sea- and landscapes of Maine or Lake George, and were created by O'Keeffe between 1921 and 1922. The technique and style of A Storm reflects O'Keeffe's earlier preference for charcoal as a medium.{{Cite book |title=American pastels in the Metropolitan museum of art|first=Doreen|last=Bolger |date=1989-01-01|publisher=The Metropolitan museum of art|isbn=9780810918955|oclc=929674573}} It was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by a private collector in 1981.{{cite web|title=Georgia O'Keeffe {{!}} A Storm|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/482299|website=The Metropolitan Museum of Art|accessdate=January 16, 2017}}
