A Two-panel Silver Leaf Screen With A Hawk On A Flowering Plum Branch
A two-panel screen painted on a silver leaf ground, depicting a hawk perched on a flowering plum branch.
The hawk is rendered with remarkable naturalistic attention: its plumage displays a refined layering of brown, grey, and ochre tones, while its vigilant gaze and gilt talons emphasize its solemn presence.
The gnarled branches of the plum tree intertwine elegantly across the surface, creating a dense decorative pattern punctuated by small white blossoms and scattered buds.
