Yi Gwi Yi Si-baek Portrait, Cheonan

The portraits of Mukjae Yi Gwi and his son Joam Yi Si-baek are presumed to have been produced by their clan, and are judged to be copies made from the same original sketches as the versions held by the National Museum of Korea. Mukjae and Joam were both named Meritorious Subjects of the Restoration for their part in the Injo Restoration of 1623, which deposed King Gwanghaegun and enthroned King Injo; Mukjae was registered as a first-class meritorious subject at the age of 67, and Joam as a second-class meritorious subject at the age of 42. As half-length portraits, they are valuable material for the study of portrait painting in the late Joseon period.
