The image shows a frozen waterfall scene with icicles hanging over the edge. Buildings and trees far in the distance are barely visible, covered in snow. The water below is partly hidden by mist, with no visible brushstrokes. The color palette is primarily brown and white, creating a cold, wintry atmosphere. Snow-covered branches and rocks near the viewer lead towards the misty waterfall.
