# Snowscape with Figures, in Korean painting

Kim Si painted this in 1584, aged 60. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> This hanging scroll is a rare surviving example of early Joseon period painting. The painter Kim Si (1481–1537) was a member of the aristocracy, or high-ranking men. However, after his father, Kim Anro (1481–1537) fell out of power, Kim Si retreated himself and spent his life as a reclusive artist.
