Typical Price

This dignified portrait of a Korean nobleman reflects Keith's ability to convey cultural identity through careful observation of dress and bearing. Korean portrait subjects are particularly prized among her works, as they record a vanishing aristocratic tradition. With no posthumous editions ever produced, expect $1,500-$5,000 depending on impression quality.

Description

Dignified portrait of a Korean yangban in traditional horsehair hat (gat) and white robes, capturing the bearing and costume of the traditional scholarly elite.
