mid-18th century
Not on view
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.
Among the oft-depicted sites within Inner Geumgang, Manpok Valley is a converging point for many distinctive features of the Diamond Mountains: foliage-lined hills, spiky peaks, oddly formed rocks, and gushing streams. Here the small but visible presence of the human travelers connects viewers with the actual place.
