Depicting Sericulture, or silk farming – the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. The rectangular panel is richly decorated in gold and red lacquer with women engaged in silk production in a farmhouse by a river. Their faces and hands picked out in silver lacquer, the rocky landscape with pine, bamboo, chrysanthemum, willow and other trees, all against a black ground and contained within a repeating foliate border. The figure on the left hand side is weaving the silk – the finished product – using a loom.

In The Decorative Arts of the China Trade: Paintings, furnishings and exotic curiosities‘, Carl L.

Crossman discusses the depictions of China’s large silk industry in watercolours and gouaches. He explains that they: ‚have handsome landscape backgrounds and show in great detail an idealised view of the pavilions and gardens of the residence of a wealthy Chinese, rather than the place of manufacture‘ (Carl L. Crossman, The Decorative Arts of the China Trade: Paintings, furnishings and exotic curiosities‘, Antique Collectors‘ Club, 1991, p. 180). An example of such a scene is presented in this panel.
