Description

Capriccio landscape. In the right foreground, three figures fish from a rock beside a river, the two males standing and the female seated. Above them is a giant natural rock arch, partially covered by scrub. Trees frame the left of the composition, where a waterfall cascades. In the background, two figures work on the left bank and there are several buildings along the right bank, with distant mountains behind.
