Multi-panel screen painting of figures, mostly children, playing in a garden with a gold background
Detailed Description
A six-panel screen painting depicts a garden scene populated by numerous figures, predominantly children, set against a gold background. A dark blue body of water winds through the lower and middle sections, with stylized green and gray cloud-like forms appearing in the upper left and upper right. On the far left, a figure swings over the blue water, while below, several small figures interact with a large white crane. Moving right, many small figures are engaged in various activities. Some play with drums, sticks, or fans, while others ride a green, dragon-like creature. A few taller figures, likely adults, are interspersed among the children. In the central panels, a raised platform or veranda is visible, where several figures are seated or reclining, including one individual wearing elaborate robes. Below this platform, more children are shown, some chasing a small brown dog. The right side of the screen features a large, gnarled pine tree with dark green needles and a thick, twisted brown trunk. Behind the tree, a building with a green tiled roof and patterned walls is partially visible. Green and gray rock formations rise behind the building. The figures are depicted with light skin and wear colorful robes in shades of red, green, blue, white, and yellow.
