About the piece
This distinguished portrait from the Joseon dynasty depicts Cho Hyun-myeong of the Punhyang Cho family. Clad in a delicate pink official robe and a traditional black winged 'samo' hat, the subject is rendered with remarkable psychological depth and fine detail. The vertical calligraphic inscription adds an authentic scholarly touch to this masterful example of Korean portraiture.
