A Six-panel Folding Screen Depicting A Garden Of Flowers

Six-panel screen painted on paper with pigments, gofun and gold leaf, featuring a refined composition of pink and white peonies, on whose branches a colorful bird perches.

The panels are framed by refined silk borders and a lacquered wood frame. The screen is signed at the bottom right.
