Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting "Children" by Aoki Mokubei depicts a landscape with a winding path. The path is in the center, extending from the bottom to the top. It has several curves and bends. The path is shaded with gray and black ink. Several small children are on or alongside the path. Two children are in the bottom-left, one wears blue and carries a red object, the other wears green. On the bottom-right, one child wears red and walks with a white rabbit. Another child wears blue and a blue hat. In the top-left, one child wears red and walks with a man wearing blue; they hold a long stick with a white object on the end. A dog follows the man and child. The background includes trees, hills, and a building with a tiled roof at the top. The building has red walls. The painting's background is beige. The painting includes two red seals with Japanese characters, one near the top-right and illegible text in the center.
