Waterfall

About this work

This painting shows a waterfall pouring down a rocky cliff. The water is dark gray, almost black, with a few lighter streaks where it splashes. Above the falls, a few branches with reddish-orange leaves stick out from the rocks. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, like the artist dashed it off. The leaves look almost like they’re glowing against the muted background. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
