This painting shows a small stream surrounded by brown rocks and green foliage. Golden sunlight illuminates the scene, highlighting the vegetation, trees, hills, and sky in various shades of green, blue, and brown. The water of the stream is clear, showing the brown ground beneath while also reflecting some of the nearby greenery. The sliver of sky above the distant green mountain is bright blue, with a few wispy white clouds.
