Brief Description
Gold-leaf screen with calligraphic text on cream panels, one featuring a flowering pink plum branch
Detailed Description
The artwork presents a multi-panel composition against a textured gold-leaf background. The gold surface exhibits a slightly mottled or aged appearance, with variations in its reflective quality. Three distinct rectangular sections, or panels, are visible, each featuring a light cream or beige ground. On the far left, a partial vertical panel is visible, containing several columns of black calligraphic text. A subtle decorative border, composed of a repeating wave-like or cloud-like pattern in a lighter tone, runs along the top edge of this panel. Immediately to its right, a full vertical panel is depicted. This panel showcases a flowering branch, rendered in shades of brown and black, which extends diagonally from the lower right towards the upper left. The branch is adorned with numerous pink blossoms, ranging from small buds to fully open flowers, each with a darker pink center. Black calligraphic text is written vertically on this panel, primarily positioned to the right of the flowering branch, with some characters appearing to intertwine with the branch itself. Further to the right, a horizontal rectangular panel is situated in the lower-middle portion of the gold background. This panel also contains multiple columns of black calligraphic text. A decorative border, similar in style to the one on the far left panel, runs along its top edge. The gold background continues to the right of this horizontal panel, filling the remainder of the frame.
