Mother and Son by a Mosquito Net

Suzuki Harunobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman and a small child in a room. The woman wears a kimono with a brown and white striped pattern on the left side. Her hair is pulled back into a bun. She holds up a mosquito net with her right hand. The child, dressed in a simple orange garment, stands beside her, looking up. A green pillar stands to the left. The floor is covered with tatami mats and a red tile floor extends outside. A window with a grid pattern is behind the woman. Outside, plants and a small wooden box are visible. A color palette ruler is on the right.
