Color woodcut of a green dragon between two children in yellow robes, framed by a circle of stylized clouds on cream paper.

The Furious Dragon, color woodcut by Helen Hyde, 1914

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.
