"Waterval te Tjiroek-Betong" is a lithograph by Paulus Lauters, dating from 1843-1845. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a waterfall cascading through a lush forest, with a pair of figures visible in the foreground. The romantic, landscape-focused composition evokes the sublime beauty of nature, characteristic of 19th-century Romanticism, emphasizing the grandeur of the natural world. Lauters' attention to detail in portraying the cascading water, foliage, and rocky terrain adds to the realism and immersive quality of the work.
