The subject of this portrait has never been definitively identified, but has been passed down as “Mr. Seong.” He is seated, wearing an official hat, light red robe, and belt with a silver inlaid design. The depiction of the face is particularly notable, showing characteristics of mid-18th century Joseon portraits; the eyelids, smile lines, and bridge of the nose are outlined, and there is gradation in some areas of the skin.
