The image showcases two women engrossed in their meticulous tasks, surrounded by an air of grace and elegance. On the left side, we see a woman delicately drawing out silk threads with utmost precision. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to this intricate craft that has been passed down through generations. With skilled hands and unwavering patience, she transforms raw silk fibers into fine strands ready for further refinement. In the foreground, another woman is shown beating silk fibers in a trough using flails. This process helps to separate and soften the fibers, preparing them for weaving into luxurious fabrics. Despite the physical exertion required, her posture remains dignified as she carries out her work with determination. The scene depicted here is taken from "Court Ladies Preparing Newly-woven Silk" a painted silk handscroll attributed to Emperor Hui Tsung during the Sung Dynasty in the early 12th century.
