Description: The Japanese kanji reads "Tonbo," or "Dragonfly" as translated into English. As this dragonfly glides across the painting, we can see through the translucent paper wings, past the thick white and gold fibers to the cool blue water below. The dragonfly's eyes glow a bright iridescent gold with glimmering green flecks highlighting the color of its body. Additional embellishments to the torso include an antique brooch with an intricately engraved scene surrounded by two gold vintage jewels while gold leafing adorns the segments of the tail.
