This is the portrait of gojong, the 26th king of joseon. It is a full-body seated buddhist statue wearing an ikseon-gwan (翼善冠) and a yellow dragon robe (dragon robe) and sitting on a dragon platform facing forward. The feet are placed on a two-tiered footrest, and the floor is covered with hwamunseok. The background was painted in a light gray color. This portrait is said to be a new work by yong-sin yong-sin, an artist who worked from the late joseon dynasty to the modern era. The portrait fills the screen and assumes a frontal view, the posture with both hands on the knees, the realistic depiction of the face as if looking at a photograph, the jade belt raised high above the chest, the large tablet and tassels, and the vertical mat are some of the characteristics found in the portraits of yong-sin yong-sin. Gae yong-sin had king gojong's manuscript and copied king gojong's portrait several times. This is a fact that shows a change in the concept of portraits. It means that portraits, which were enshrined and enshrined in a designated hall with certain courtesy, have now become objects that many people can look at out of respect for the king.
