The painting displays a rushing stream seen from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The scene is filled with dense foliage, twisting branches creating an overhead canopy, and shadows on the water. Large rocks are scattered in the water, with energetic currents swirling around them. The brushstrokes depict the water's motion and leaf texture, with swirls and patches of light. The color palette includes muted greens, grays, browns, and hints of white representing frothy water. The overall image conveys a vibrant natural scene filled with lush greenery and flowing water.
