Drawn by the Japanese artist Ishijaki Yushi (石崎融思, 1768–1846), this picture portrays a Korean, apparently a Joseon Royal Envoy, seated in a pavilion in the center; various articles, such as basins and a leopardskin chair, suggest they are from the Joseon era. The shape of the vessel does not seem like an ordinary envoy vessel, but through the decorations of dragons and haetae, a mythical unicorn lion, it can be assumed that the vessel represents Joseon.
