To the right of the figure is a standing snag, green underbrush, a grove of four or five dark green conifers, and boulders lying on a slope; in the distance on the right is a steep cliff. On the left side of the river is another sheer wall below a gently rising slope. On the river is a sailboat with a dark, square sail; in the distance there may be another sailboat.
