EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of wedding ducks, known as kirogi, from the Joseon Dynasty in Korea around 1900. Crafted with meticulous detail and painted on wood, these exquisite birds symbolize love, commitment, and the sacred bond of marriage. In Korean culture, wedding ducks hold great significance during traditional ceremonies. The male duck represents the husband while the female duck embodies the wife. Together they epitomize harmony and unity within a couple's relationship. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorning these ceremonial ducks reflect the rich artistic heritage of Korean craftsmanship. Each stroke tells a story of devotion and celebration as they stand tall at 34.3x18.4 cm. These beautiful creatures were often given as gifts to newlyweds to bless their union with happiness and prosperity throughout their lives together. They serve as a reminder that love is not only about passion but also about loyalty and companionship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by eChristies Images from a private collection, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition that continues to inspire us today. The painting captures the essence of marital bliss - two souls intertwined forevermore like these graceful ducks gliding through life's journey side by side.
