and in the upper right corner of the screen, there is a shoe print poem by Jeong Yak-yong's "Dasan Simun Collection," volume 6, "Write four mortar strokes in the album of Yeongmyeongwi."
Hong Hyun-joo visited Majae, where Jeong Yak-yong lived before 1836, and enjoyed the arts with Jeong Yak-yong and other writers. It is estimated that the work was also produced at this time.
This work has long been regarded as Jeong Yak-yong's work because it has Jeong Yak-yong's pen name, Yeolcho. However, Hong Hyun-ju's existence was revealed through comparison of other works by publishing the collection catalogu, Landscape Painting and Flower Painting. Afterwards, he recognized that it was the work of Hong Hyeon-Ju as a literary artist, paying attention to the fact that he could know the relationship with Jeong Yak-Yong.
It was recognized that the literary painting is a representative work of Hong Hyeon-ju, the artistic perfection of the work, and the valuable example of the 19th century Joseon literary painting.
