Miindo Painting

Miindo depicts a standing woman and is thought to have originally been mounted as a hanging scroll, though it is now framed; overall, its condition is good. This is a typical portrait rendered mainly in line drawing, connected to the tradition of Sin Yun-bok's miindo - 'beauty paintings', portraits of an idealised beautiful woman - from the 19th century. Judged against the lineage of miindo produced from the mid-Joseon period onward, it ranks as the finest work among late Joseon miindo, and it is valuable material for research into the history of late Joseon dress and into portrait painting. It can also be compared with the work of Seokji Chae Yong-sin, who dominated the portraiture of the period, making it a cultural heritage of high documentary value.
