This eight-panel folding screen illustrates the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The first and second panels depict a spring scene; the third and fourth, a summer scene; the fifth and sixth exude an autumnal aura; and the seventh and eight bluntly illustrate a wintry scene of bare branches and a snow-covered mountain. Each panel contains a poem penned for the season, showing a key aspect of literati paintings.
