Golden Dragon Plays with a Pearl of Lightning

The title means "The auspicious dragon shoots a pearl from its mouth". It's suggested that it is a ball of lightning (often called a pearl in Chinese).

After the title, the inscription is 丁酉年文君畫 which includes the year painted (2017) in a special ancient way along with "Wen Jun painted" which is the artist's signature (like saying "painted by Wen Jun").
