DescriptionThis work is a landscape that features a valley enclosed by cliffs. The valley in the foreground features tall trees that almost blend in with the background and the cliff faces. A few small human figures can be seen in the middle of the valley. In the middle ground of the work appears to be a narrow yet tall waterfall in the center of the work. The background snowcapped tops of tall mountains are visible.
