Garden scene with eggplants, flowers, and two weasels

A painted garden on golden-brown silk shows dark purple eggplants, broad green leaves, white chrysanthemum-like flowers, and bare winter branches above. A slender brown weasel crouches at the right edge, with a second animal half hidden among the foliage at left, in fine ink and color brushwork.
