Uisang is known for his significant contributions to Korean Buddhism, particularly his role in translating Buddhist scriptures from Chinese into Korean. The painting captures the serene and contemplative nature of Uisang, with his gentle expression and peaceful demeanor. The artist's skillful use of pigments on silk creates a lifelike representation of Uisang's wrinkled features, expressive eyes, and intricate monk's robes.
