注脚
Perhaps inspired by several series of painted 'Scenes of Ploughing and Weaving' (arguably the most famous by Jiao Bingzhen in 1681), most of the plaques in the present lot seem to depict varied scenes of rice farming, with only two depicting the harvesting of mulberry leaves and the hanging of silk skeins.
