A two-fold wooden screen features a horizontal pond scene in ink and color on silk against a muted tan background. On our left, large green lotus leaves and a single yellow flower emerge from the water near small fish. On our right, more fish swim over clusters of green plants. A dark wood frame surrounds the silk, while a wooden band along the bottom features stylized silver waves.
