DescriptionView of a waterfall in a broad river. The water cascades around a large rock with a cross on it. There are buildings on both sides of the river, including, on the right, a small town with a city wall with turrets and a large structure with stepped gables. A small building, probably a house, is on a hill in the background, surrounded by fields and trees. Two women wearing aprons and a seated man are in the left foreground. Two additional women are below them, near the river. A three-story building is in the right foreground. Two large trees frame the composition. Additional trees, bushes, and rocks are in the foreground.
