| Description |
English:
In this painting, an adept (
xian
) flies through the air on the back of a dragon. At the lower right, a demon thrall holds his master's dragon-headed staff. The scene takes place against a background of clouds, from which the dragon has just emerged. The transcendent gazes into space with an intense, knowing expression.
