The artist uses delicate brushstrokes to depict a serene mountainous region, with a cascading waterfall flowing through the rocks. The composition, characteristic of the artist's style, emphasizes the beauty of nature through its use of subtle shading and gentle curves, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
