About this work

This painting shows a waterfall pouring down a rocky cliff. Trees line the banks on both sides, and the water looks misty where it hits the rocks. The background has soft, hazy mountains that fade into the sky. The artist used light colors to show the water’s movement and the mist. The brushstrokes are loose, making the scene feel fresh and alive. Next, look up waterfall to see how artists have painted them over time.
