A wide, slow-moving river flows in the foreground under a cloudy sky. The water is a murky, pale green with visible currents and ripples. In the middle ground, a narrow strip of land separates the river from a steep, rocky mountain slope. Scattered evergreen trees dot the lower part of the mountain. The mountain itself is massive and rugged, with scree slopes and patches of snow or ice visible higher up. The peak is partially obscured by heavy clouds, giving the scene a somber, remote atmosphere.
