The image depicts a river reflecting rock formations in the background. The horizon is high in the image, emphasizing the rocks' verticality. The brushstrokes are fine and detailed, resembling lithographic prints, providing a textured quality. Earth tones and shades of grey, brown, and orange dominate the color palette. In the foreground, there is a rowboat with two figures and another figure on the riverbank. The scene transitions into a wooded area with trees between the rocks.
