Abstract

This study analyzed the pigments used in two portraits of Sim Hui-su using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy(SEM/EDS), X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis, and microscopic observation, and then compared the results to those from nondestructive analysis. It was estimated that cinnabar/vermilion and minium were used for the red pigment, azurite for the blue pigment, atacamite for the green pigment, and lead white for the white pigment. These results were compared to the pigments of six portraits with a similar format, full-length official-attire portraits from the $17-18^{th}$ century Joseon period. It was revealed that the composition of the pigments used in the portraits varied depending on the date of production. Iron oxide, another red pigment, was used in the $18^{th}$ century. As for the blue colorant, smalt was used in the late $18^{th}$ century, whereas it was absent until the early $18^{th}$ century.

심희수 초상화 2점의 채색 안료에 대한 분석과 현미경 관찰을 통해 채색 안료의 특성을 조사하였으며 비파괴분석 결과와 비교 검토하였다. 심희수 초상화에 사용된 안료는 색상에 따라 유사한 안료를 사용한 것으로 확인되었다. 적색 안료는 진사/주, 연단을 사용하였으며, 청색 안료는 석청, 녹색 안료는 녹염동광, 백색 안료는 연백을 사용한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 유사한 형식으로 제작된 17~18세기 조선시대 관복초상화 6점과의 채색 안료를 비교한 결과 제작 시기에 따라 차이를 보였다. 적색 안료의 경우 18세기에 제작된 초상화에서 산화철 계통의 안료가 추가적으로 사용된 특징을 보인다. 청색 안료의 차이점은 18세기 초반까지 사용되지 않았던 회청 안료가 18세기 후반에 제작된 초상화에서 확인된 점이다.
