Portrait in the Exhibition for the Folding Screens.
What attracted my attention was the portrait of the old couple in the late Choson dynasty.
Their expressionless face, hair style, the coronet and the clothes were impressive to me.
This portrait seemed to be painted on the basis of the photograph.
The elaborated touches in the painting was awesome.
In my view, this portrait introduce us the exact appearance of our grandparents.
The figures and the appearances of this portrait were as same as that of my grandma.
She died when I was a little boy, but I am still remembering her appearance up until now.
Portraits from long ago seem to bear expressionless faces. I have many old pictures of my ancestors and none had a smile.
It reminds me of my first passport photo! Very stoic and i wasnt allowed to smile. I always wondered what they were thinking as you cannot read their faces.
My great grandmother passed away when i was young, but. Her picture remains vivid in my mind

@slowwalker,
You still remember her, yeah I also remember my grand parents as well! I think that happens we are (Asians) having family bound than most of other nations!
Anyway these portraits! Yeah they are pretty awesome! I mean the extract look and expression of the face nicely printed (draw) on folding screens! I think it's the power of the art man!
Cheers~

쪽진 저 머리는 옛날 할머니들의 트레이드 마크였으니까요.^^
@slowwalker, I'm so much interesting to see every folding screens. The old couple in the late Choson dynasty so traditional looks indeed. Hair style and traditional kits reminded traditional looks. Both couple's face expression was proud. Nicely painted like live their faces. Well explained with brilliant captures.
This is really great work of art.. Thanks for sharing @slowwalker
