Indian Falls, Indian Brook, Cold Springs, New York

William Rickarby Miller

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A painting depicts a forest scene with a waterfall. The waterfall is in the center, cascading over multiple rocky tiers. Water flows down and to the right into a small pool. The waterfall and pool are brown and white. The forest floor and banks are brown with some green plants. A large tree branch arcs over the top left of the waterfall. Trees with thin brown branches and sparse leaves are in the background. The entire scene is rendered in muted brown and tan tones.
