About this work

This screen shows six tall panels with bare trees against a golden background. The branches twist and hold clusters of white and pink flowers. A few birds fly near the branches, and the ground looks like soft, misty hills. The gold leaf shines behind everything, making the colors glow. Tiny details in the bark and flowers catch your eye.
