In this portrait, the subject is seated in a dark blue official robe with a rank badge embroidered with peony and heachi, an official hat, and a belt with gold ornaments. He appears to have narrow shoulders and a thin torso, and the tall collars noticeably express his slight build. The texture of his facial skin was portrayed with a sort of chiaroscuro effect.
