Hello everybody. I have an old painting that I would love to identify, but have hit a wall with my own research. Any ideas on the identification of this painting would be wonderful. Here is what I know:

1. An expert in Chinese paintings said that the painting is probably Korean.
2. The wording by the groups of men give their court titles.
3. I believes it is between 300-400 years old.
4. The scene is the royal family's yearly procession to the royal mausoleum.
5. The paper used is thicker than rice paper, and sort of like the paper bags you pack groceries in.
6. The surrounding cloth is silk.
7. The frame is bamboo
8. The nails, hanging clips and corner protectors are all made with a mold and are probably copper. 9. This is not signed
10. I saw Korean paintings with similar colors at the Met, but they were only 100 years old and the theme was different.

A quick apology for the quality of the photographs.
