Insadong · Beautiful Caricature Seoul
A personal Seoul souvenir can include someone who could not join your trip. At Beautiful Caricature on Ssamziegil’s second floor, you can sit for a live portrait or show the artist photographs of the people you would like drawn.
A picture for the people you miss
Parents back home, a friend celebrating a birthday, or a partner who could not travel with you: a drawing from photos offers another way to share your visit to Seoul. Tell the artist who should appear and the composition you have in mind.
What kind of photograph should you bring?
Choose photographs in which the face and expression are easy to see. A few different views can help you explain the features you want the artist to capture. Show your pictures and discuss the drawing before placing an order.
Explore the portrait gallery
The gallery brings together colourful finished portraits and photographs of visitors and pets. Compare the expressions, hairstyles and small details to find the mood you would enjoy in your own picture.
Photo orders and collection
For a portrait drawn from photos, confirm the available options and the total price for your requested people and composition directly with the studio before ordering.
Check the drawing and collection arrangements against your travel schedule. The original notice also listed 10:30–20:30 opening hours; ask for current hours before making a special trip.

Why older Insadong photos show a plaza booth
Beautiful Caricature's company journal dated 8 July 2024 records the move from the Ssamziegil entrance plaza into a second-floor shop. Its photos show both the earlier outdoor booth and the purple indoor studio. They document different stages of the same Insadong studio.
For planning your visit, use the second-floor location in this guide: 44 Insadong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. If an older photograph looks different, check the studio map above and confirm the entrance with the studio before travelling.
