ink, h 154.3cm × w 402.6cm More details
Grapevines are a traditional theme in Korean painting because of their association with fertility. O Nam-un depicted the vines in the direction of view, flowing across the surface as though blowing gently in the wind. The interplay of the vines, leaves, and grapes attest to his virtuoso handling of the brush.
