The Chinese characters written at the top right of this painting explain that it is a portrait of Yi Choe-jung, a civil official of the late Joseon Period, painted in 1770 when he was 56 years old. He is wearing an official hat and a high-ranking official’s uniform without a rank badge. However, the subject’s face and robe are portrayed in the characteristic style of portraits of the early 18th century.
