Detailed Description
A multi-panel screen displays blue morning glories and green vines. The screen is composed of six vertical panels, each separated by a thin, dark line. The background is a uniform, shimmering gold. Numerous morning glory flowers, rendered in a deep, rich blue, are scattered across the entire surface. Each flower is trumpet-shaped, with a lighter, almost white, center that radiates outwards. They vary slightly in size and orientation, some fully open, others partially closed. Intertwined with the flowers are abundant green leaves, typically heart-shaped, and slender, winding vines. The vines originate from the lower left and extend upwards and across the panels. The foliage is concentrated in dense clusters, particularly in the central and right-hand sections, while sparser tendrils reach towards the edges of the panels. The overall composition fills the entire rectangular frame.
