To his left, there is a smaller figure in a blue robe, sitting on a rock or chair. A large tree branch extends from the top left corner across the upper center of the painting. The background of the painting shows a large waterfall cascading down a mountain, with additional mountains and sparse trees in the distance. The painting has a brown background with a range of dark brown and black tones used for the mountains, trees, and figures. Two red seals are visible on the right side of the painting.
