Boy Riding a Dragon

In Chinese mythology, the dragon is positioned at the top of the hierarchy of mythical animals. There is smoke coming from his mouth and hanging around his tail. By highly decorating the body of the dragon and using a dense ‘weave' for the flute-playing boy, Yvonne succeeds in differentiating the two figures. The detailed dress of the boy shows the richness of his coat. This piece is also bobbin lace, worked in parts.
