Painted circa 1900 in finely layered mineral pigments on silk and mounted against a luminous gold ground, the composition balances richly detailed figures with an expansive field of negative space, creating a sense of quiet refinement. Delicate autumn grasses frame the pair, while the gold panel enhances the warmth and brilliance of the palette. Signed and sealed "Yoho," the screen is finished with a silk brocade border and would make a striking addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors. See less
