( fl c. 16th century). Korean painter. Hardly anything is known about his life. He is said by some (notably O Se-ch’ang) to have been a student of the 15th-century painter An Kyon. However, a reference in the Chronicle of King Myongjong to a portrait of Myongjong’s father, King Chungjong (reg 1506–44), painted in 1549 by two artists named Yi Sang-jwa and Sok Kyong (though with a different character for Kyong), suggests he may have been active in the 16th century. Though it may be risky to conclude that Sok Kyong learnt directly from An Kyon, he appears to have followed his style. He excelled at portraits, ink-bamboo and paintings of clouds and dragons. Works attributed to him are Landscape (Seoul, Cent. Stud. Kor. A., Kansong A. Mus.) and A Dragon in Clouds (Seoul, N. Mus.). The latter work bears his seal. The landscape held in the Kansong Art Museum appears to have been drawn in the 16th century following the style of An Kyon. A Dragon in Clouds depicts a dragon emerging from clouds and holding a pearl in its front claws.
