Waterfall

Kaspar Auer, after Johann Jakob Dorner II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape seen from a higher perspective. The horizon features distant mountains. Near a stream, a figure stands while a log cabin sits on a hillside among trees. The scene is depicted with detailed brushwork imitating natural textures. The color scheme is primarily sepia tones. Hills lead to the mountains in the distance under a sky painted with delicate brushstrokes.
