1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Women and Children Walking Along the Sumida River is a 1804 by Katsushika Hokusai, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows four people walking along a riverbank. A woman in a kimono holds a parasol and looks at another woman, who is carrying a child. A small boy walks ahead of them, carrying a bundle of leaves and a large white object on his back. In the background, there are trees and buildings across the river. The artist has used muted colors to depict the scene, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are delicate, and the overall effect is one of serenity.
