Detailed Description
This artwork is a six-panel screen, with each vertical panel framed by a thin gold border. The panels alternate between dense black calligraphy on a light, sepia-toned background and ink wash paintings rendered in shades of gray and black. The leftmost panel is filled with vertical lines of black calligraphy. The second panel is an ink wash painting depicting a vertical arrangement of large, light-colored flowers with dark leaves and stems, set against a horizontally streaked background that suggests water or mist. The third panel is another vertical panel of black calligraphy. The fourth panel is an ink wash painting featuring a standing figure in light robes, positioned slightly to the left of center and looking downwards. Faint bamboo stalks are visible behind the figure to the right. Above, a crescent moon is visible in a dark, cloudy sky with horizontal cloud formations. The fifth panel is a third vertical panel of black calligraphy. The rightmost, sixth panel is an ink wash painting showing a reclining figure in light robes, resting on a rocky or mountainous landscape. A smaller figure appears near the reclining figure. Mountains rise in the background, and a crescent moon is visible in the upper right corner. The entire artwork maintains a monochromatic palette of black, gray, and sepia tones.
