A Waterfall by Moonlight

Franz Innocenz Josef Kobell

National Gallery of Art

The image features a waterfall cascading down a rocky surface. The horizon is obscured by towering cliffs and the waterfall, emphasizing depth and grandeur. Detailed brushstrokes portray foliage and textured rocks. The color palette consists of earthy browns and sepias, creating a monochromatic look. Boulders and rock formations are in the foreground, with water flowing smoothly around them. In the background, dense vegetation and tree branches are silhouetted against a bright object in the sky.
