This painting shows a tall waterfall pouring down rocky cliffs. The trees cling to the sides, and the mist swirls around the base. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few dark strokes for shadows. The brushwork is loose, almost sketchy, with quick lines for the water and rocks. It feels like the artist rushed to capture the movement of the falls. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and dark create depth in paintings.
