The Kyujanggak Pavilion

What you see

We look down on the scene from above. At the center, a two-story pavilion with red columns and a dark roof presides over a walled courtyard; another long building stretches to its left, and a smaller one sits lower on the right. Walls, gates and stairways order the space. Pines and other trees surround the compound, and mountains rise behind between bands of cloud.

The golden silk gives everything a warm tone, against which the red columns and the dark blue of roofs and treetops stand out. The buildings are drawn with great precision. Notice the dark oval pond at lower left and the small pavilion half hidden among the trees near the top.
