Painting of the Lone Arhat of Cheongnyeonam Hermitage, Suwon

A Dokseongdo (Painting of the Lone Arhat) depicts, alone, Dokseong Jonja, the first of the sixteen arhats among the disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha. Dokseong Jonja is said to have revealed supernatural powers to ordinary people and, after being reproved by the Buddha for this and denied entry into nirvana, to have become a being who, after the Buddha's own passing, vowed to save all sentient beings. Such a painting is either enshrined alone in a temple's Dokseonggak (Shrine of the Lone Arhat), or housed together with a Sansindo (Mountain God Painting) and a Chilseongdo (Seven Stars Painting) inside a Samseonggak (Shrine of the Three Sages). The Dokseongdo of Cheongnyeonam Hermitage is a work of the late 19th century, enshrined alone in the Dokseonggak.
