Chupadang Hall Daemyeong Portrait

This portrait shows the Seon master Chupadang Daemyeong seated in the full lotus position on the floor, his face turned to a seven-tenths left profile — a conventional near three-quarter angle in Korean portraiture. On the right of the picture is a caption inscription identifying the sitter, reading '禪敎兩宗秋坡堂大明大禪師之眞' ('Portrait of the Great Seon Master Chupadang Daemyeong of the Seon and Gyo Orders'). Along the lower edge outside the picture, where no separate cartouche was made for a production record, is an ink inscription reading '嘉慶六年⋯良工玉仁' ('in the sixth year of Jiaqing ⋯ by the craftsman Ok-in'), confirming that the portrait was painted in 1801 by the painter Ok-in. The picture measures 82.1 cm wide and 122.5 cm high.
