Minhwa Tiger Smoking a Pipe, with Magpies | Korean Folk Art
Couldn't load pickup availability
In ancient Korea, magpies and tigers were common motifs in folk art. The "smoking tiger," often depicted with a comically exaggerated expression, symbolized the ruling elite. Aristocrats were known for smoking from absurdly long pipes that often needed servants to light them. In contrast, the dignified magpie represented the common people. Through these paintings of smoking tigers, Korean folk artists subtly satirized the aristocracy.
