Visual Summary

Brief Description

Flowering tree branch with white blossoms and reddish leaves against a gold and silver background

Detailed Description

The artwork is a multi-panel screen divided horizontally into two main sections. The upper two-thirds of the screen feature a shimmering gold background, while the lower one-third displays a textured silver-grey background. A tree trunk, rendered in shades of brown and green with hints of gold, emerges from the right side of the screen, extending downwards and slightly left. From this trunk, a prominent branch stretches horizontally across the upper portion of the screen, reaching towards the left edge. This branch is adorned with numerous clusters of white blossoms, each with a subtle yellow center, interspersed with small, reddish-brown leaves. The blossoms are concentrated along the branch, forming a pattern against the gold. In the upper right corner, there is a small area of black calligraphic text above a circular red seal.
