Diptych.
a: A man in gray robes stands in the center, holding a yellow umbrella over his head. He has a scarf on his head and his rubes are tucked up to his waist. The lower third of the paper is plain. The center ground has yellowish water, a yellow boat at left, green trees and a yellow building compound. The top third is gray, rainy sky with zigzags of orange lightning. In the upper left is a billow of black and gray smoke.
b: A woman kneels in the center, trying to raise a yellow umbrella. She is in gray and white robes. Above her head is the rest of the black and gray swirling cloud on which sits a fox with long hair, human arms and green and pink robes with white streamers. There is water in the middle grond with a small yellow boat at left, yellow houses and green trees on the far shore. The sky is gray streaked and rainy, with two flashes of pink lightning.
