The Thunder God

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a rainy day in the paved courtyard of a village house, an old woman in the doorway leans back in fright and flings a lidded pot toward a winged, clawed thunder spirit, who twists away with a hammer in one hand and the other arm raised over his face, under rolling clouds, with a water vat, a broom and a spinning wheel nearby.
