DescriptionTwo men, one on foot and one on horseback, climb a sharply inclined path through a rocky forest. Sheer, vertical cliffs rise on either side of the valley, framing more mountains that zigzag back into the distance and fade into the blue and white sky above. On the right, a tall waterfall pours from the edge of the nearest cliff, its spray dissipating behind the evergreen trees.
