* **Framed Size:** 74 × 66 cm

## Condition

* **Frame:** The frame is original. Due to its age, the outer matting shows natural yellowing and slight discoloration, contributing to its vintage charm. This has been taken into account in the pricing. The matting can be cleaned or replaced by a framing professional for approximately 30,000-50,000 KRW to restore it to a pristine condition.

You can enjoy its rustic vintage appeal as is, or for a more flawless look, the matting can be replaced by a framing shop.

## Transaction

Due to the size and weight of the framed artwork, **direct pickup is preferred**. However, shipping can be arranged with the condition that the buyer accepts responsibility for potential glass breakage during transit. The item will be carefully packaged.

This piece is recommended for collectors who appreciate its value or for those looking to bring a positive energy to their space with a beautiful painting.

☆ 수년간 아것저것 모았는데 둘곳도 부족하고
집사람 성화에 모두 정리중입니다.

​[작품 소개]
​한국 근현대 화단의 거목이자 국전초대작가 및 심사위원을 지내신 백포(白浦) 곽남배 화백의 댜표작품입니다.

​백포 화백의 전형적인 작품 세계가 돋보이는 작품으로, 시골 원두막 위에서 한가로이 장기를 두는 풍경과 빨래들의 유색 담채가 어우러져 보는 것만으로도 마음이 평온해지는 명작입니다.

가정집 거실이나 서재, 혹은 한식당이나 사무실 인테리어용으로 격을 높여줄 작품입니다.

[상세내용]
​작가: 백포 곽남배 (친필 서명 및 낙관 완벽함)
​작품 크기: 그림 52 × 45 cm (약 10호 사이즈)
액자 전체 74 × 66 cm

​상태 상세:
​그림 본지는 얼룩이나 훼손 없이 색감이 아주 잘 보존되어 있습니다.
​액자는 오리지널 제짝 그대로이나, 세월의 흐름으로 인한 외곽 마트 부분에 자연스러운 황변(얼룩)이 있습니다.

이 점 감안한 가격으로 책정했습니다
표구사에서 3~5만원 정도면 세척 및 배접을 다시해서 깨끗한 상태로 되돌릴 수 있습니다.

고풍스러운 빈티지 멋으로 그냥 걸어두셔도 좋고, 예민하신 분은 표구점에 맡겨 마트만 교체하시면 새 그림처럼 변모합니다.

[거래]
작품 크기와 액자 무게가 있어 택배보다는 [직거래]를 선호합니다만
택배거래는 유리 파손면책등의 조건으로 잘 포장해서 보내려고 합니다

​가치를 알아보시는 컬렉터나 집안에 좋은 기운의 그림을 걸어두고 싶으신 분께 추천드립니다.

좋은작품이 좋은분께 사랑받았으면 좋겠습니다.
