About this work

This scene shows a group of people gathered by a rocky waterfall. A man in a wide-brimmed hat sits on a ledge, talking to a woman in a long dress. Others stand or crouch nearby, with one person holding a lantern. The background has trees and a faint sky, while the foreground shows a small boat and scattered rocks. The title hints this is a moment from a story about a group traveling together. The artist used shading to show light and shadow, making the scene feel lively. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
