19th Century Royal Court Artist Jo Jung Muk (조중묵 趙重默) aka Un Gye (운계(雲溪) (1820-1894) created several paintings that are iconic in Korea, including Korea's government designated National Treasure Portrait of King Taejo painted in 1872 (see fourth photo here), Portrait of King Cheoljong in the National Palace Museum painted in 1861 (see fifth photo here), and Ancestral Grave on Inwangsan Mountain in the National Museum of Korea painted in 1868 (see third photo here). This unmounted six-panel screen of nature paintings is only the second screen by Jo Jung Muk ever offered for sale anywhere in the world. The first one sold at auction in Korea. All of his other screens are in major museum collections.
