This watercolor shows a waterfall pouring over rocks above a small village. The scene is calm but full of movement. Tiny houses sit below, lit by soft morning light. Caspar Wolf often painted Swiss Alps scenes like this. He liked how light played on water and stone. His work feels quiet but alive, like you could step into it. Want to see more watercolors?
