Tavern

Kim Hong-do

Painted

c. 1780

Collection

National Museum of Korea

At a roadside tavern a traveller eats from a bowl in his hand while the landlady ladles soup from her pot, a baby on her back; another guest rummages in his purse. Small gestures like these make this a warm record of an ordinary meal on the road in late Joseon.
