DescriptionA group of men and women stand on a grassy bank surrounded by rocks and trees looking at a large waterfall in the distance. A man wearing a coat and hat reclines on the grass at the right. A seated man appears to be holding a fishing pole. Another group of people stand on the shore; two people are in a small boat. Mist rises from the falls, which are separated into two sections by a rocky promontory. A tower is at the edge of the river on the right, above the falls.
