The painting depicts a mountainous landscape with a gorge. A tree with yellow leaves stands on the left side on a rocky outcrop. The gorge is filled with trees and has a river running through it. The mountains in the background are hazy and indistinct. The sky is yellowish, with the sun shining brightly. The painting is done in warm, earthy tones. The gorge stretches out into the distance, curving and narrowing. The mountains on either side of the gorge are covered in trees. The rocky outcrop in the foreground has several large boulders. The tree on the left has a curved trunk and sparse leaves. The overall atmosphere is serene and peaceful.
