Pride, Geung ji is a 1950 by Ch'ang-yon Ham, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white print shows a woman sitting in a large, woven basket. She’s smiling, holding the sides with both hands, and wearing a simple dress with a headscarf. The basket looks heavy, resting on the ground near some round objects that might be rocks or fruit. The artist used heavy lines and shading to give the basket texture, making it look almost three-dimensional. The woman’s face is drawn with bold, clear strokes, giving her a friendly look. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next—it’s a technique that uses strong light and shadow.
A linocut print titled *Pride, Geung ji* by Ham Ch'ang-yŏn depicts a scene of fishing and was produced between 1950 and 2000.

Ham drew village life on scraps of old paper, sketching by oil lamps after farm work.
