About the Item

A hyper realistic portrait of an official with watercolor on silk bordered panel, framed in dark wood, from Korean late Joseon dynasty, circa 19th century. The beard man sitting with a formal frontal view, displays a benevolent facial expression, in keeping with the Confucius value of the officialdom at the time. He dons a black linen official hat and a blue silk robe with embroidery on the chest. A wide official belt with jade plaques suggests his high rank. The wood frame and the metal hanging appears to be old and original. Residues of paper label on the back wood panel are visible and as shown. The size of the image is 7.5" x 9.5" inches. With frame it is 11.6" x 15.2".
