<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tagsale_notes, post: 13148335, member: 115485&quot;]Hi Tracy, welcome. Photos didn&#039;t come through for me either, so a few general things that might help while you re-attach.</p><p><br /></p><p>Danwon (檀園) is the art name of Kim Hong-do, the big 18th century genre painter. His village and everyday life scenes were copied a huge amount, so most pieces with his name on them turn out to be later copies or 20th century decorative work. Mounted flat onto card rather than a scroll or album mount also points that way, though it doesn&#039;t rule anything out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Worth checking:</p><p>- Look at the paint and the red seals under a loupe or phone macro. A regular dot pattern means a print. Real ink bleeds a little into the paper fibers, and real seal paste sits slightly raised and uneven.</p><p>- The National Museum of Korea has his genre painting album online. If your scene matches one of those compositions closely it&#039;s a copy after him.</p><p>- Post a sharp straight-on photo of just the writing column. There is sometimes a cyclical date in there (two characters like 丙辰) that someone here can read, and that helps with age more than the signature does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
