This is a self-portrait of Kang Sehwang at the age of seventy. He is clad in a jade-color dopo, an everyday coat, paired with an osamo, a winged black silk hat traditionally worn with official attire. The unique combination of casual clothing and the formal headgear corresponds to the inscription on the painting, which reads, "My heart resides in the remote mountains, but my body is at the royal court." This contrast symbolizes the tension between his inner ideals and the realities of his official life, visually represented through the blending of casual and formal elements.
