Li Song

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man with a moustache and a hat, wearing a traditional Chinese robe, surrounded by three small children. The man holds a bundle with a long protrusion extending from it on his back. He looks to the right with a smile. The children are to his left, with one child looking directly at the viewer, another peeking from behind the man, and the third peeking from behind the child in front. A tree branch extends from the top left corner. In the background, to the right, is a large pile of various items. A small child is in the bottom right corner, facing left. The entire scene is enclosed within a circular border. The title of the piece is "The Knickknack Peddler" and the artist is Li Song.
