쟝기두고

This painting illustrates one of many games played in Korea during the 1800s. Two men in traditional Korean attire can be seen playing jang-gi or Korean chess (장기). The man in the purple is making his next move while the man in the blue watches on. The man in the green watches them play the game. Some of the lead white paint has blackened over time. A title for the piece and an artist seal appear at the top right. There are 22 other watercolor paintings in the collection illustrating Korean games and rendered by the same artist, Gisan (기산) of Choryang, Korea.
