Weaving is a 1880 paint by Jun Wu, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a painting called Weaving by Wu Jun. It shows silk workers setting up threads on a loom. A woman passes a shuttle back and forth to weave fabric. Artists then used realism to show daily life in detail. The silk industry needed many hands to prepare threads and operate looms. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
