Song of the Waters

Jerome B. Thompson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts two nude people sitting on a cliff overlooking a large waterfall. The person on the left has their right arm raised above their head, while the person on the right sits with their left arm raised and holds a bow and arrow in their right hand. The cliff has some vegetation around it, and there are trees with yellow and red leaves on either side. A rainbow appears on the left side. In the background, there is a large waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff, with a cloudy sky above. The overall atmosphere suggests a natural, serene setting. Song of the Waters by Jerome B. Thompson.
