A waterfall cascading down misty mountains with a tree bearing red leaves
Detailed Description
A waterfall scene is depicted with a muted color palette and areas of bright color. The background is a light beige, depicting a misty atmosphere. In the upper left, dark, rounded mountain forms emerge from a hazy green and gray mist, from which a white waterfall begins its descent. The waterfall flows diagonally from the upper left towards the center, then cascades vertically down the right side of the composition. The water is depicted with fine vertical lines and some white foam at the top. In the mid-ground, a gnarled tree trunk with dark branches extends from the left, arching over the waterfall. Its branches are adorned with numerous small, star-shaped leaves in shades of bright red and pink. Several individual red leaves appear to be falling into the waterfall. The lower portion of the waterfall dissipates into a soft, light gray mist. On the lower left, near the base of the tree, a vertical inscription in dark script is visible, followed by a rectangular red seal. The central image is bordered by a light blue fabric with a repeating diamond pattern on the sides, and a beige fabric with a repeating circular motif at the top and bottom.
