1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Group of Figures near a Brook is a 1804 by Katsushika Hokusai, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This picture shows a group of people by a stream. A woman holds a baby, another carries a basket, and a child plays with a dog. Trees and a wooden bridge fill the background. The colors are soft—mostly browns, greens, and blues. Notice how the artist made the trees look alive with tiny leaves and branches. The people seem busy, but calm. Look up Katsushika Hokusai next to see more of his work.
Katsushika Hokusai spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he drew and carved prints for a living.
