Seongdamdang Hall Uijeon Hall Portrait

This portrait shows the Seon master Seongdamdang Uijeon full-length, seated in the full lotus position, his face turned to a seven-tenths left profile. A chair draped with a ceremonial cover is placed behind him, though he sits cross-legged on the floor rather than on the chair itself. He wears a grey monastic robe with a red kasaya over it, holding a staff in his left hand while his right hand rests on a low desk placed in front of him. On the left and right of the picture are, respectively, an encomium written in ink on a vermilion ground and a caption inscription reading '禪敎兩宗華嚴宗主聖潭堂倚琠大禪師之眞' ('Portrait of the Great Seon Master Seongdamdang Uijeon, Head of the Hwaeom Order of the Seon and Gyo Orders'). The picture measures 76.8 cm wide and 111.8 cm high.
