A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on a gold six-fold screen depicts a sprawling landscape segmented by billowy golden clouds. Temples and pagodas with tiered blue and red roofs sit among clusters of dark green pines and white blossoms. Small figures with light skin tones traverse gates and paths across the metallic background. Gold mist weaves between the architectural structures, while rolling green hills rise along the upper edge of the composition.
