Description: | Spectacular mountainous landscape with a bridge and water cascading over rocks. High mountains fill the right and central distance with sunlight streaming through clouds at left. Across the centre of the picture is an arched stone bridge, water gushing through the arches and creating small waterfalls in the foreground. There are high rocks and trees at foreground left and right. A figure on horse and cart crosses the bridge and another figure leans over the bridge looking down at the water. Two figures can be seen on a rock under an arch to the right, one sitting, one standing with arms outstretched as if to balance.
