Chaekgeori (paintings of books and associated things) are Korean still-life paintings that flourished during the latter part of the Joseon period. These paintings often feature an array of books, scholarly implements, and decorative objects, symbolizing the Confucian ideals of knowledge and refinement. Characterized by using three-dimensional effects and reversed perspective, where distant objects appear larger than those in the foreground.
Chaekgeori compositions create a distinctive spatial illusion that flattens the pictorial surface. This unique treatment, combined with intricate decorative patterns, lends the paintings a highly graphic and ornamental quality.
Unlike Western still-life traditions, chaekgeori did not strive for realism; rather, they served as visual expressions of cultural values, emphasizing the virtues of scholarship and intellectual pursuit.
Typically displayed in studios and educational settings, these paintings reinforced the reverence for learning that was central to Joseon society.
This lot is three panels from a chaekgeori screen. A seal bearing the painter’s name is on the top shelf of the first panel from the left. During the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), court painters could not sign their names on their artworks, but Lee Taek-gyun playfully imprinted his name on a seal placed in the painting.
Lee, a court painter during the nineteenth century, came from a family of court painters. The name he used before 1864 was Lee Eungrok, from 1864 to 1871, he used the name Lee Hyeongrok; after 1871, he changed his name to Lee Taekgyun.

【名称】
李宅均（款，朝鮮王朝，1808-1883以后）《冊架圖》三幅
【年代】
朝鲜王朝，19世纪
【描述】
书籍与学者用品（Chaekgeori）
纸本水墨设色，来自屏风的三幅画板，装框并镶玻璃。
左起第一幅画板的左上角隐藏印章。
Chaekgeori（书籍及其相关物品的绘画）是韩国静物画，在朝鲜后期盛行。这些画通常描绘一系列书籍、学者用具和装饰品，象征儒家的知识和修养理想。特点是使用三维效果和反向透视，远处的物体看起来比前景中的物体大。
Chaekgeori构图创造了一种独特的空间错觉，使画面表面扁平化。这种独特的处理方式结合复杂的装饰图案，赋予这些画作高度的图形和装饰性。
与西方静物传统不同，chaekgeori并不追求现实主义；相反，它们是文化价值观的视觉表达，强调学术和智力追求的美德。
这些画通常展示在书房和教育场所，强化了学习的重要性，这是朝鲜社会的核心价值观。
本拍品是chaekgeori屏风的三幅画板。左起第一幅画板顶部书架上的印章上刻有画家的名字。在朝鲜王朝（1392–1910）期间，宫廷画家不能在作品上签名，但李宅均巧妙地将自己的名字印在画中的印章上。
李宅均是19世纪的宫廷画家，出身于一个宫廷画家家庭。他在1864年之前使用的名字是李应洛，1864年至1871年使用的名字是李亨洛；1871年后改名为李宅均。
