This portrait, titled "Portrait of the Great Master Yeongwoldang Eungjin" takes us back to the 1700s in Korea's Joseon Dynasty. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite painting showcases the esteemed monk, Great Master Yeongwoldang Eungjin. The inscription in a red cartouche at the upper right corner confirms his identity and reveals that this artwork belongs to a genre known as jinyeong portraits. These paintings were traditionally made after the passing of influential Buddhist monks. Yeongwoldang Eungjin's elevated status is evident through his attire – finely crafted monastic garments that exude elegance and reverence. In his left hand, he holds a dragon-headed ceremonial fly whisk, symbolizing power and authority within Buddhism. Meanwhile, his right hand gently cradles a sacred Buddhist scripture, emphasizing his deep understanding of religious teachings. A closer look at the painting reveals a writing box on Yeongwoldang Eungjin's desk. It contains brushes, an ink stone, and a water dropper – tools associated with calligraphy and scholarly pursuits. This inclusion further highlights his intellectual prowess and profound insights into Buddhism. Painted with vibrant colors and delicate gold accents on silk, this hanging scroll exemplifies both artistic mastery and cultural heritage. Preserved today at The Cleveland Museum of Art under Heritage Art/Heritage Images' care, it serves as a testament to Korea's rich history during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-
