Description
I was quite fortunate to obtain this scroll painting by Kim Gyu-Jin. I know its not really comic art related so hope I am not breaking any rules.

b. 1868-1933
One of the most famous literati painters of the late Joseon Dynasty, Kim
Gyu-jin (Haegang) excelled at figure painting, calligraphy, and the
decorative painting of the royal court, but is especially renowned for
his literati works of plants in ink. Kim taught calligraphy and
painting to Kim Gojong's son, and in 1920 was commissioned by King
Sunjong to paint a mural of Geumgan-san (Diamond Mountain). Kim was
instrumental in developing new Korean artists; he opened one of the
first modern art galleries in Seoul in 1913, and founded a three-year
training course for new artists. His works are displayed in the
National Museum of Korea in Seoul, The Ho-Am Art Collection, Changdok
Palace, the Mary Burke Collection, and Harvard University's Arthur M.
Sackler Museum.
