About the painting
This painting is from an album depicting the silk industry. In the 19th century in China families in rural areas often produced silk. They then sold their yarns or fabrics to silk merchants. This painting shows the various activities going on in the silk-producing areas. You can see the silk products being first weighed and then loaded on to a boat destined for towns and cities.
