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

The Clay Image

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: At night in a village bedroom, a young widow in a plain jacket and skirt shrinks back with one hand pressed to her breast and the other raised toward the door, while her young husband in a scholar's cap and wide-sleeved gown raises a hand to calm her, near a cloth-covered altar table with food, wine, an incense burner and a lamp, with a curtained bed, a chest, a stool and a needlework basket around them.
