The Upper Falls, Penllergare Valley Woods

John Dillwyn Llewelyn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a waterfall surrounded by trees. Looking up from a lower angle, the waterfall is framed by branches forming an arch. The image focuses on the waterfall and surrounding foliage, with the rocks beneath it directing the flow of water smoothly. The color palette consists of sepia tones, blending various shades of brown. Green trees near the waterfall add depth, while sunlight filtering through the leaves highlights the natural elements.
