Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a vertical, sepia-toned artwork. The artwork shows a large, bald, smiling man with a large belly sitting on the left side, half turned to the right. The man wears a green robe and holds a large bead in his right hand. He has a tattoo on his chest and stomach. To the right of the man is a young girl with a bow in her hair, reaching out to him. Below the girl is a small, bald boy on one knee, also reaching out to the man. The background is a plain, light brown color with some darker brown lines and marks. The man, girl, and boy are drawn in black lines with some color filling. The girl and boy wear traditional Japanese clothing. The girl's clothing appears to have a floral pattern. The boy wears a simple robe.
