On one screen a peacock sweeps down over a fountain which is ingeniously integrated with the rococo framing design. 

A bunch of flowers, roses, bindweed, tulip, forget-me-nots and passion flower are painted in a naturalistic way at the front.

Beautifully shaded, their bright colours harmonise with the exotic gold patterns to create an enchanting fantasy.
