A six-panel screen painting depicts flowering trees against a shimmering gold background
Detailed Description
This six-panel screen painting features flowering trees against a rich gold background. The panels are arranged horizontally, with a decorative border along the top and bottom edges. A large, dark-trunked tree with gnarled branches covered in white and silver blossoms occupies the center and right side of the screen. Its branches extend across multiple panels, with dense clusters of flowers. To the left, a smaller, more delicate tree or branch with dark, slender limbs bears sparse, light pink blossoms. The gold background, which appears to be gold leaf, has a textured, shimmering quality. Darker, muted brown and green shapes, resembling clouds or landforms, are interspersed throughout the gold, particularly around the bases and branches of the trees.
