Brief Description
Gold fan-shaped painting, winding vine, green leaves, blue flowers, gold patterned border
Detailed Description
The artwork features a multi-layered border. The outermost border is a wide gold band with a repeating pattern of small, stylized, light gold shapes. Inside this, a narrower, plain light grey border frames the central image. The central image is a fan-shaped painting, oriented horizontally, with its widest part at the top. Its surface is predominantly gold, displaying visible vertical lines that suggest a pleated structure. A winding vine with green leaves and clusters of blue flowers, resembling wisteria, is painted across the gold surface. The vine originates from the right side of the fan, curving upwards and to the left. Multiple clusters of blue flowers hang downwards from the vine, primarily concentrated on the right half of the fan. Green leaves are interspersed along the vine. In the lower right quadrant of the fan, a small, vertical inscription or seal appears in red.
