A horizontal gouache drawing depicts a rugged mountain landscape. In the center foreground, figures lead a horse-drawn wagon along a dirt path. To the right, a waterfall cascades over jagged, light-colored rocks into foaming water. Large, dark cliffs topped with dark green evergreens frame the left. In the background, pale blue mountains rise behind misty clouds under a light gray sky. Tiny birds are silhouetted against the hazy peaks.
