Pavilion by the Lake (Chinese: 湖边凉亭) is a painting during Korean peninsula’s Joseon dynasty period. Created in the late 18th century AD, this painting measures 45.4 cm in height and 27.6 cm in width. This painting is created by an unknown artist whose style name is Samoje (literally, "Studio of Three-Five"). The artist, probably a professional painter from the jungin (middle people) class of Joseon dynasty cannot be ascertained due to lack of documentation. So it is difficult to confirm the identity and the given name of the artist. The composition of the "Pavilion by the Lake" were likely adapted from popular painting manuals of Ming dynasty (1368–1644) imported from China. One of the most prominent examples for those painting manuals was the Mustard Seed Garden (Chinese: 芥子園畫傳, Jieziyuan Huazhuan) manual of painting.
