Multi-panel screen: gold landscape with dark stylized trees, a diagonal bridge, and a dark orb
Detailed Description
The artwork is a multi-panel screen featuring a landscape rendered in gold and dark tones. The background is gold, textured with small, irregular dots. Dark, undulating shapes, resembling clouds or mist, are present across the upper portion of the screen, extending downwards in places. On the left, a slender, dark tree with weeping branches rises from the bottom edge, its silhouette visible against the gold. A diagonal bridge with two parallel railings extends from the lower left towards the upper right, crossing the middle panels. It is rendered in dark tones with lighter lines for the railings. In the upper right, a dark, reddish-brown orb, possibly a moon, is partially visible behind a dark cloud-like form. On the far right, a large, gnarled tree with a thick trunk and sweeping branches is visible on the panel, depicted in dark tones against the gold. Dark, rounded forms at the bottom suggest ground or water features.
