Daeeundang Hall U Gwan Portrait

This portrait shows the sitter in three-quarter left profile, seated cross-legged directly on the floor and facing sideways, holding a Zen staff in one hand and a string of prayer beads in the other. Set against a two-tiered background of a plain, patternless wall above and a woven mat below, a chair draped with cloth bearing an elaborate lotus-scroll pattern is depicted behind the sitter's back; its form has been simplified and flattened so that it serves purely as a decorative backdrop. On the left of the picture is a title inscribed in black ink, and on the back is a production record, also in black ink, showing that the work was made in the seventh month of 1859, recorded as the year gi-mi, the ninth year of the Chinese Xianfeng era (咸豊九年己未七月). The picture measures 78.9 cm in width and 120.3 cm in height.
