Elizabeth Keith’s woodblock print, created around 1921, depicts two Korean men playing Janggi, a traditional Korean chess variant. Made during her visits to Korea in 1919 and 1921, Keith’s work documents Korean culture and traditions. As a Western artist focusing on Asian subjects, her prints provide a unique perspective on early 20th-century Korean life, bridging cultural divides through art.
