Although not especially old, this painting displays the typical style of gwaebul – large Buddhist paintings hung outdoors for major ceremonies – that was popular in the Seoul and Gyeonggi region from the late 19th to the early 20th century, and it reflects the regional characteristics of such paintings well. It is especially fine among comparable works because it was painted in 1909 by the Buddhist monk-painters Hyegwa and Hangok to pray for the long life of Emperor Sunjong, the last emperor of Joseon, Empress Sunjeonghyo, and Crown Prince Yeong.
