The Furious Dragon

A green dragon with an open-mouthed snarl and orange-tipped mane sits at center, flanked by two children in yellow-and-olive robes with pale hands gripping its curled body. Stylized gray-lavender clouds form a circular border on a cream ground, and the artist's signature and inscription appear in the lower corners.
