| 18th Century Crab Painting signed Choson Simwong sa from the Robert Moore Collection, purchased at Chrisitie's. Simwong was the artist name used by Lee Bang Won, the celebrated 18th Century Korean literati painter. Several of his paintings are in the Ewha Museum, one of Korea's greatest museums. Ewha spells his name Yi Bang Wun. The last photograph (#6) posted here is a scan of one of his landscapes from a Seoul Auction catalog. His alias Simwong is marked with yellow highlight marker in the description. He usually paints landscapes, so this crab painting is a very special and intimate painting from this master. It is well-rendered with skilled brushwork and a sophisticated palette of ink shades. Ink on paper. Mounting: 45.5 x 12.25 inches, 115.5 x 31 cm; Painting: 17.5 x 10 inches, 44.5 x 25.5 cm. | ||
