“Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk” is a famous painting from the Song Dynasty, showcasing three different processes involved in silk production. Dr. Nancy Berliner of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, studied the painting and discovered that the women depicted in the painting were court ladies rather than farmers or country women. They were adorned in exquisite brocades, damasks, and even tie-dye clothes. Their hair was decorated with little paper cuts or combs, and they were seated on exquisite stools with lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay.

Some believe that these women were performing an annual ritual to recreate the process of making silk, which was believed to bring good fortune and a good harvest to the countryside.

The painting was created by Emperor Huizong or an artist in his imperial academy. It was painted on silk with ink, mineral colors, and little bits of gold, which shimmered and gave the painting extra depth. The brushstrokes used to create the painting were finely crafted and varied in thickness, creating a unique, moving experience for the viewer.

The painting was a copy of another painting in the collection of the Tang Dynasty artist Jungshuan, but it had a different composition. The women were not standing in a garden but in front of a black background. The painting remains vibrant and bright even after all these years.

To look closely at this painting is to have an incredibly rich and moving experience. Dr. Berliner is moved each time she looks at it, noticing different things each time. This painting is truly a masterpiece of the Song Dynasty.
