The portrait of Yi Je-hyeon (Korean: 이제현 초상; Hanja: 李齊賢 肖像) is a portrait of a Goryeo politician and neo-Confucian scholar Yi Chehyŏn.[1] As a rare piece of the remaining portrait from the Goryeo period, it was designated as the 110th National Treasure of South Korea in 1962.[1]
Two poems are written above the portrait, one by Yi himself and the other by the famed Yuan writer Tang Binglong.[1][2] It is said that he was attending King Chungseon (1275–1325) to visit Hangzhou in 1319, while the king requested the Yuan painter Zhen Ganru to draw the portrait of his subject, Yi.[1] [2][3]
