Kang Yi-o (1788-?), who used the pen name Yaksan, was a grandson of the famous scholar-painter Kang Se-hwang. In this half-length, full-frontal portrait, he is depicted wearing an official's everyday pink robe (sibok) and a black silk hat. The colophon at top, praising the subject's wise appearance and the realistic likeness of the picture, was written by the famous calligrapher Kim Jeong-hui.
