Clear Elegance of Hongmungwan

Lee Do-yeong was a teaching assistant at Seohwa Misulhoe and his theme in the painting is similar to that found in the Flavor of Early Autumn by Ahn Jung-sik. Written in the upper corner is the phrase, “clear elegance of Hongmungwan,” the office of special counselors, along with another inscription to signify Lee Do-yeong as the author.
