Brief Description
Multi-panel screen with trees, yellow leaves, white flowers, and a winding stream on a textured ground
Detailed Description
The artwork is a horizontal, multi-panel screen, likely composed of six vertical panels, framed by a dark brown border. The background of the entire composition is a mottled, textured surface, appearing as if made from gold leaf with a speckled or brushed pattern, predominantly in muted tones of gold, brown, and gray. A wide, light-colored, wavy band, resembling a stream or a stylized cloud formation, traverses horizontally across the middle of the panels. This band is interrupted in places but generally flows from the left side towards the right. On the far left, a tall, slender tree with numerous branches covered in bright yellow leaves fills the left two panels. To its immediate right, a smaller tree with a darker, curved trunk features clusters of white flowers with distinct red centers, interspersed with some yellow leaves. Below these trees, in the lower left, are a few green leafy plants and several rounded forms in shades of reddish-brown and dark green, suggesting rocks or mounds. The central panels continue the textured background, with the wavy band passing through. Here, sparser vegetation includes smaller green plants and clusters of tiny white flowers near the bottom edge. Further to the right, two prominent trees with thick, dark trunks and large, broad, brown leaves stand. One of these trees has a particularly gnarled trunk. To the far right, tall, slender stalks of golden-yellow grass or reeds rise from the bottom edge, extending upwards against the textured background and the winding light band. The overall color palette is earthy, featuring golds, browns, greens, and whites, with small accents of red.
