The Dragon

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in the front yard of a thatched farmhouse on a summer day, a shaven-headed monk in a long robe and prayer beads pours water from a small gourd flask into an alms bowl where a little white snake swims, while a lean bearded farmer with a headcloth bends forward with hands on his knees and stares in amazement, with a jujube tree, a water jar, a hoe, a brushwood fence with gourds, and two hens beside a grain tray around them.
