The cliff on the left side of the painting is mostly smooth. The water at the bottom of the painting is choppy. The background at the top of the painting shows a gray sky. The painting style is impressionist with visible brushstrokes. The overall tone of the painting is dark and moody. The painting depicts Montmorency Falls in Canada by John Mackie Falconer.
