The image shows a river landscape with rushing water cascading over rocks. The view is slightly upstream, focusing on the churning water. Trees line both sides of the river. The drawing features sketchy strokes in pencil, charcoal, or pastel, with white highlights to show the motion of the water. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of grey and white on a textured, warm beige-toned paper.
