This painting is from an album depicting the silk industry. It shows silk yarns being dyed before they are woven. The process involves selecting the dyes and mixing and heating them until they become a liquid in which the silk yarns are immersed. The dyed yarns are then thoroughly dried. More complicated patterns would require a more sophisticated dyeing technique.
