A narrow river threads far below between steep walls of rust, ochre and burnt orange foliage, seen from a high rocky ledge. The valley sinks into violet shadow while a final band of evening light gilds the distant ridge and catches along the water. Broad sweeping brushstrokes give the scene a solemn, hushed grandeur.
