Below him runs a shallow, rocky stream, where the flow of water is broken by small cascading waterfalls, adding a sense of dynamism and energy to the otherwise serene tableau. The bright afternoon light filters through the leaves of the surrounding forest, casting a warm golden glow over the entire scene and reflecting off the rippling water. Provenance: Charles M.
