Detailed Description
A woman with two children is depicted against a plain, brownish-gold background. The woman, positioned slightly left of center, wears a dark kimono adorned with white, green, and red patterns. Her hair is styled upwards in a dark bun, secured with white hairpins. Her face is fair-skinned, and she looks downwards towards the children. She holds one child in her arms, who wears a red garment with white patterns. This child has fair skin and appears to be looking towards the viewer. A second child clings to the woman's left leg, wearing a brown and white striped garment with a dark sash. This child also has fair skin and looks upwards towards the woman's face. Both children have dark hair. To the right of the woman, a tree trunk with dark green foliage extends upwards from the lower-middle. The foliage appears to be pine needles or bamboo leaves. The dark garments contrast against the lighter background. In the lower right corner, vertical text is visible, reading: 一陽斎豊国画.
