This painting depicts people gazing at a waterfall on a mountain highlighted with autumnal tints. The refreshing waterfall tumbling into the valleys running between mountains, the pine tree standing on a rock, the tranquil figures gazing at the waterfall, and the young boy playing a pipe while sitting on a rock all form a pleasant harmony that enhances the charm of this painting.
