Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk is a silk painting attributed to Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty. It is the only extant copy of a lost original Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Wilk by Chinese artist Zhang Xuan. The painting depicts an annual imperial ceremony of silk production, held in spring. It shows three groups of Tang dynasty court ladies at work. Viewing from left, one figure sitting on the ground is preparing a thread and the other are sewing while sitting on a stool. The right group of four ladies are pounding the silk with wooden poles. The group stretching and ironing the silk and the right group which is pounding the silk with wooden poles are depicted in a diamond-shaped formation to produce the feeling of a three-dimensional space.
Originally kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing, the painting was acquired by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in August 1912.

Chinese:
《搗練圖》是中國唐代名畫，是一幅工筆重設色畫，表現貴族婦女搗練縫衣的工作場面。系盛唐時的一幅重要的風俗畫，對後世繪畫風格有重大影響，是唐代仕女畫中取材較為別緻的作品，系唐代畫家張萱之作。
此圖描繪了唐代城市婦女在搗練、絡線、熨平、縫製勞動操作時的情景，在長卷式的畫面上共刻畫了十二個人物形象，按勞動工序分成搗練、織線、熨燙三組場面。其線條工細遒勁，設色富麗，其”豐肥體”的人物造型，表現出唐代仕女畫的典型風格。
