The Merchant’s Wife

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: a merchant's bedroom at night, where a young woman who has stepped out of a small open door in the wall holds out a long plain sash in both hands to a young wife sitting on the edge of a curtained bed, who raises a hand to push it away, while a lean man crouches behind a tall clothes cabinet at the right and peeps out at them.
