Fine Art Prints from Heritage Images
Portrait of an Official, 1600s-1700s. Creator: Unknown
Portrait of an Official, 1600s-1700s. During the Joseon period, portraiture was a popular painting genre. Families used these painted images in their ancestor-worship rites. Portraits of kings and their loyal retainers were also commissioned. This imposing figure was probably a court official, because he wears a black-lacquered horsehair cap and a lavishly embroidered panel appears on his robe. The appearance of both hands--a rare feature in official Korean portraiture--adds a note of individuality

Families would often employ such painted images for their ancestor-worship rituals, while kings and loyal retainers also commissioned portraits. The subject of this portrait is an imposing figure who is believed to be a court official due to his attire.
