<div>Hello Hilary:</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Yes, Sin Yun-bok and "Miin-do" are good keywords. The most famous one by Sin Yun-bok is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hyewon-Miindo.jpg The one you find in every tourist booklet, on umbrellas, as ball pen designs, etc.</div>
<div>The term "miin-do" seems to be a generic term, not an actual title. You also find miin-do paintings in China and Japan, also in later periods (e.g. during the Taish? period in Japan). That is a genre that traveled and changed throughout the centuries, was kind of "back-introduced" in a modern version to Korea in the 1920s.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>The one you have there, the one the stage image is based on, looks to me like a 19th century work based on Sin Yun-bok. Especially the way the face is done would to me indicate that it is later than Sin Yun-bok's period. The Japanese National Museum in Tokyo in whose collection it is gives the painter as "anonymous."</div>
