Description
An elderly Korean man in profile sits amid orange-spotted tiger lilies and green foliage, wearing a pale cream robe and a black horsehair gat, holding a long thin pipe to his lips with his right hand. Behind him, pale blue-grey mountain peaks rise into a sky streaked with gold-edged clouds in muted teal and ochre tones. The overall palette is soft and atmospheric—cream, dusty rose, and pale blue—contrasted against the vivid red-orange of the flowers in the foreground. Paul Jacoulet, *Hokkan—Mountains, Seoul Korea*, 1937, color woodblock print on paper, under glass.
