The portrait of Cho Yongbok, handed down through his descendants, has two versions. One is a full-length portrait of a seated image in an official uniform wearing a square-shaped cap. The version in a normal outfit has the title of the portrait on the upper left corner, which provides a clue to the history of the portrait. According to this, it was drawn when he was 54, while he was exiled in Yongchun. But, as Cho Yongbok was released and returned to the court, he had a painter draw a separate version in official uniform and he drew the version in the outfit of exile with his own hand. Therefore, these two versions display almost the same style, except that the version in the exile outfit exposes both hands, which is rare in portraits of the Choson period.
