Black-and-white painting of a large waterfall. The waterfall is in the upper center, flowing down in a wide stream from right to left. The waterfall appears to be flowing over an opening between two steep, rocky cliff sections. Three people stand on top of the cliff to the right of the waterfall, near where water begins to fall. A large boulder sits to the left of the waterfall, and a person standing on top. Two more people stand in the bottom center, looking up at the waterfall. Water appears to collect at the base of the falls before continuing to flow to the left. The sky and background are dark.
