Yi Taek-gyun

Books and Scholars' Accouterments (chaekgeori), late 1800s (detail)

About the Artwork

Functioning the same way as a signature in Western art, a seal impression on a chaekgeori screen is sometimes included to reveal the painter’s identity. It is called a “hidden” seal due to its discreet placement. Only about 12 works with such a “hidden” seal are known today. This screen has one on the third panel (from the right). Examined recently, the characters in the seal impression revealed that Yi Taek-gyun, a prominent court artist, is the creator of the museum’s painted screen.
