Detailed Description
A large white waterfall cascades under a stone arch bridge, set against a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. To the far left, a tall, light brown stone building features a circular window and an arched entrance. A light brown stone bridge extends from this building, curving across the upper middle of the scene. The bridge forms a large, central archway. Through this arch, a distant view reveals more light brown buildings, possibly a town or village, with a single tall, slender green tree rising above them, all under a slightly lighter blue sky. Below the arch, a white waterfall cascades down a dark, rocky cliff face. The water flows into a dark, rocky pool at the bottom of the scene. On the lower left, a figure, dressed in dark, earthy-toned clothing, stands on a rocky bank. The person is bent over, holding a long stick or tool, looking at the ground. The immediate foreground consists of uneven, rocky terrain with sparse patches of green and yellow vegetation. Dark green foliage and vines cling to the sides of the cliffs and the supports of the bridge.
