His era was the late period of the dynasty, during which the portrait of three kings were drawn by Yi: Heonjong, Cheoljong and Emperor Gojong. His works named himself the most fascinating portrait painter at the time.[1]
Famed artists and scholar Kim Jeong-hui disciplined Yi with other artists including Yu Suk, Yu Jae so, etc. Kim appreciated his drawing: the drawing of Yi lacked the forms but took hold of magnificent scenery with powerful but also transparent calligraphy.[1]
Existing works show broad subjects such as scenery, figure, flowers and birds, whereas they abided by the way of Kim Hong-do in terms of describing the core images. His artistic style was said to be affected by Southern School.[1]
One of his most valuable works is No.57 National Treasures of South Korea《The portrait of Kim Jung-hui》(1857, The National Museum of Korea), while other relics can be also found in Gansong Art Museum.
