Painted by Lee Sang-beom (1897~1972) in 1958, commemorating the 60th birthday of Dr. Helen Kim, the 7th president of Ewha Womans University. The painting portrays a landscape in which a tile-roofed house stands in the woods on a hill by a stream and flowers express a cheerful sense of spring. On the right is a seal mark with a poem reading: “A house on a high place is filled with a beautiful feeling of pear blossoms on a hillock. In spring 1958, a year of musul. Painted by Cheongjeon to celebrate the 60th birthday of Dr. Uwol.” “Pear blossoms on a hillock” or Iwon (梨園) generally refers to Jangakwon, the bureau of court music in the Joseon Dynasty, but in this painting it seems to indicate Ewha Womans University.
