About the piece
This formal portrait from Korea's Joseon dynasty depicts a high-ranking official in ceremonial attire, including the iconic winged black hat known as a samo. The artist employs the traditional approach of realistic characterization, capturing the sitter's facial features and wispy beard with great precision against a minimalist, golden-hued background that emphasizes the figure's presence.
