Story One Hundred and Eighty-Seven · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Lion

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in daytime in the paved forecourt of a post-station gate, a great shaggy chained lion crouches with one paw pinning a chicken while feathers swirl in the air, as a ring of delighted onlookers (a man with his arm still raised, a scholar with a fan, an old man with a staff and a small boy peeking out behind him, and a porter with his carrying pole and baskets set down) watch beneath a tiled gateway, brick wall and old tree.
