Haksongdang Hall Yi Seong Portrait

This portrait depicts Seon master Yi Seong of Haksongdang Hall seated cross-legged on the floor, viewed from a left three-quarter angle. He sits on a cushion placed on a straw mat, holding a monk's staff in his left hand and a string of prayer beads in his right. Behind the figure is a two-tier composition — an upper wall painted with a continuous peony pattern on a red ground, and a lower section showing the straw mat — against which a stylised backrest ornament is set. Above the figure a green canopy decorated with cloud-and-treasure motifs is depicted. To the left of the painting is an inscription reading 'True Portrait of Yi Seong of Haksongdang'. The painting measures 78.6 cm wide and 120.3 cm high, and is executed on a single panel of cotton cloth.
