Rare Calligraphy by the Last Korean Princess Yi Bangja. Calligraphy has been the most revered field of art throughout Korean history. Here she renders in thick, vibrant brushstrokes the characters Ik and Su, which combine to give the meaning of "Peace of Mind means Long Life." Known for her painting and ceramics, this is a rare work of calligraphy created by one of Korea's most revered artists and beloved humanitarians. You now have the rare opportunity to own a beautiful work of art and an important piece of Korean history created by the last member of the royal household to reside in Korea's royal palace. Princess Yi Bangja devoted her entire life to the education of mentally and physically handicapped people, and worked tirelessly to support them. She is the subject of television and stage dramas, operas, movies, and books, including her autobiography, "The World is One." Frame: 25.75 x 16 inches, 65.5 x 40.5 cm.
