Description
In the upper right, the full moon shines in the violet-grey cloudy sky on distant rocky mountains and a ruined castle in the middle ground on brownish rock, on both sides, from which waterfalls plunge into the gorge, where a still green water level appears above small weirs. The overgrown steep slopes are connected by a riparian wilderness with a stag resting between them.
