This painting shows a steep, rocky hillside with a waterfall cascading down. Below, a small village sits in a valley, with fields and a few buildings scattered around. The colors are soft—greens, browns, and whites—giving it a quiet, natural feel. The waterfall is the main focus, with water flowing in thin, wavy lines. The artist used light colors to show the water’s movement against the darker rock. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
