Ink and color on silk
Seo Gubang
KOREA; Goryeo dynasty
Seo Gubang was a painter during the rule of King Chungsuk (reigned 1314–1330, 1332–1339) of Goryeo. His only surviving work is a depiction of Water-Moon Avalokitesvara, now kept at the Senoku Museum in Kyoto, Japan.
According to an inscription in gold appearing on the left side of the painting, Seo had a title that was of relation to the King, and thus it is inferred that Seo was an imperial painter during the Goryeo dynasty.
