The headline of the article is Costume Drama: Rubens and Korea , which was published on http://www.artnews.com by Sharon Mizota on 03/06/13. The article deals with a mysterious drawing Man in Korean Costume by Peter Paul Rubens.
Firstly, the author writes that in recent decades, this picture has become a subject of fascination—in Korea. The piece had long been hidden away in a private collection, before the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles acquired it in 1983.
Secondly, Sharon Mizota points out that Through an array of objects, “Looking East” (opening March 5 at the Getty) offers a cross-cultural view of various theories swirling around this enigmatic work, while acknowledging that the truth may never be known.
Thirdly, the reader gets to know about different theories, concerning the picture.
Finally, Sharon Mizota concludes that Rubens was captivated by the Korean costume, but he just really was not 100 percent sure about what he was looking at. It doesn’t have a documentation feel—it has more of this curiosity feel to it.
To my mind, it's a very interesting article. We can get to know the story of creating of one particular picture and analyse different pounts of view, concerning it.
