Description
This painting titled Gukhwado (Painting of Chrysanthemums) was produced by King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800) of the Joseon Dynasty, who excelled in poetry, writing and painting. The painting, which measures 51.5 cm wide by 86.5 cm long, depicts rock and weeds on the left, and chrysanthemums blossoming outwardly in three different directions. King Jeongjo drew the rock and flower petals with a pale ink and the leaves with a thick ink, making the picture more vivid through the use of shade and variations in the strength of the ink. The painting is characterized by an attractive absence of decoration or exaggeration rarely seen in other pictures. This is one of very few paintings by King Jeongjo and as such is regarded as a precious material for studies on the history of painting, along with Pachodo (Banana Tree; Treasure No. 743), also by King Jeongjo.
