This portrait depicts Mok-eun Yi Saek (1328-1396), one of the Three Recluses of late Goryeo. While Yi Saek's portraits originally existed in two forms—one in official court attire and another in everyday dress—currently only the official court dress version survives. Even this official dress portrait no longer preserves the original; all four surviving copies are based on the original work. The Yesan Nusan Youdang version, measuring 85.2 cm wide by 143 cm tall and traditionally attributed to painters Heo-ui and Kim Myeong-guk in 1654, depicts the subject wearing an official's hat and gazing leftward. The hat features gray cords creating three-dimensional effect, while a subtle reddish tone on the face demonstrates painting techniques of the era. This portrait faithfully expresses the official Goryeo attire and, despite being a later copy, was painted by first-rate artists of the period, possessing considerable art-historical value.
