Huang Chun-Pi was considered as one of the three greatest postwar artists relocated to Taiwan, along with Zhang Da-Qian and Pu Hsin-Yu. The three artists were all-round scholars excelled at Landscapes, Flower-and-Birds, Figures paintings. They reinvented traditions and led the development of ink paintings for decades. Huang Chun-Pi is undoubtedly one of the most influential people in art education with a solid recognition in Landscape paintings. He promoted drawings through observation and visited famous mountains of China during the war. Sketches of clouds had been collected since then. After relocating to Taiwan, he held exhibitions, lectures and trips to visit majestic landscapes all over the world, including waterfalls in the US and in Africa. Since then, waterfalls painted became majestic similar to galloping horses, making him one of the greatest masters in clouds and waterfall paintings.

An inscription of the work reads, "Summer of 1971 by Huang Chun-Pi". This shows the work was done at Huang's 74 years of age. The inscription also describes a scene of a cottage by the running creek. Using a diagonal structure, a one-point perspective was used to position surrounding objects. A pathway meanders from the left leading to the cottage, where a scholar seated looking at a waterfall. In front of him is a cliff with a sideway that allows water to flow through. The force of water created mists in the valley, forming a poetic scene. A wet brush saturated with ink, axe and vertical cun were used to enhance the humid environment in the scene. Dense ink was used for the foreground, lighter at the center, creating visible layers. Huang Chun-Pi used his unique trembling strokes to create a ferocious waterfall. Blank spaces were used on the floating water to juxtapose with dense dark rocks on the river bed. Splashes and ripples were depicted with various density of ink and rugged lines. This realistic approach depicts a dynamic landscape that echoes in the minds of viewers.
