It was European photography introduced to Korea in the end of the 19th century that most inspired Chae’s naturalistic approach to his subject.
Description
Wearing a dark-green court uniform, a man is seated in a chair covered with a leopard skin, a gift from the royal court to a newly appointed officer. The embroidered rank badge with a design of a single flying crane identifies the sitter’s bureaucratic status: the third ranked officer. In this work, the painter Chae Yongshin (1848-1941) rendered a young officer’s shy smile, giving a glimpse into his mixed feelings of confidence and anxiety about upcoming bureaucratic career.
