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

EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by an unknown artist during the Joseon period, this painting exemplifies the popularity of portraiture in that era. 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. He dons a black-lacquered horsehair cap and boasts a lavishly embroidered panel on his robe. What sets this particular artwork apart from others in Korean portraiture is the inclusion of both hands, which adds a touch of individuality rarely seen in official portraits.

Executed with ink and color on silk during the Ming Dynasty (1644-1911), it exudes elegance and sophistication. The Cleveland Museum of Art proudly houses this masterpiece whose creator remains anonymous.
