The artwork depicts a powerful waterfall cascading down steep, rocky cliffs, set against a dramatic backdrop of Yosemite Valley. The scene is rendered in a bold, expressive manner, capturing the raw energy and grandeur of the natural world. Pennell's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, emphasizing the towering scale of the falls and surrounding landscape.
