This magnificent and extraordinarily detailed nine-panel screen – originally conceivedas a large hanging scroll - depicts the imperial household at leisure in a garden landscape scene during late spring. The lower corner of the garden-courtyard scene is detailed with a young man, dressed in ethnic Han-style costume and holding a fan in one hand. He is standing in preparation of being received by a senior host, dressed in a blue-coloured informal court robe who is seated in a veranda in the centre of the painting, and is flanked on either side by elegant ladies and children of the household. Above the host is a horizontal pink-ground plaque that bears the characters in blue, Yehui chunfang, meaning Gathering and Nurturing the Fragrance of Spring Flowers, and is followed by the name Huanwen and a further two seals.
