Located in Yeoncheon, Taeryeongsipcheongwon House was inhabited by Heo Mok (pen-name: Misu1595-1682), a great scholar of the mid-Joseon Period. In the courtyard of the house, Heo created two gardens, namely, Sipcheongwon, which contained ten evergreen trees, and Goeseokwon, which contained a collection of bizarre-looking stones collected from nearby places. Sadly, the house was destroyed by fire when Heo was 84 years old. King Sukjong built a new house for him and named it Eungeodang. It is presumed that this painting was produced by Heo Ryeon during a visit to Taeryeongsipcheongwon House, as Heo Mok was a leading member of the Yangcheon Heo Clan at the time. It is one of the few paintings of real scenery ever produced by Heo Ryeon.
