This is a portrait of Shin Im (1642-1725), a high-ranking official of the Joseon period. Judging from the portrayal of the face, attire, and other details, it is believed that this portrait was painted simultaneously with a full-length portrait of the same subject (accession no. Deoksu 4760). This one features more daring use of black ink for the portrayal of light and dark than does the full-length portrait.
