Artist, American, 1883 - 1904

The image shows a waterfall cascading from the top right to the bottom left. The point of view is from the edge of a cliff looking across at the waterfall. A towering rock face frames the waterfall on the right. The horizon is not distinct due to the focus on the waterfall. The sky at the top implies openness beyond the cliffs. The brushstrokes create a textured effect to depict the water and rocks. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of brown and beige. Two figures stand on the ledge, and a bridge can be seen in the distance to the left.
