Landscape of the Riverside

Although this painting is not stamped with the artist’s seal, the brush techniques used to render the trees, the composition, the harmony of powerful and gentle brush strokes, and the use of clean ink wash reveal that is a fine landscape by the master artist, Kim Hong-do. There is a postscript on the painting written by the famous art critic Son Jae-hyeong (pen-name: Sojeon, 1903-1981).
