Woman with a Child in the Garden Looking at the New Moon

Ryūryūkyo Shinsai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman wearing a purple kimono and a hat stands looking down at a child. The child wears a red kimono and looks down. They stand on a dirt path in a garden. A cherry blossom tree with sparse blossoms and some greenery are to their right. A short fence runs behind them. A stone lantern sits to their left. The background shows a hazy sky with a crescent moon. There is Japanese writing on the left side.
