Footnotes

Note:
This is an episode from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: All maids at the Zheng family are well educated. One day one of them offends the master yet tries to protest the criticism by the master, seemingly with her acquired eloquence. As a punishment she was told to stand in the mud. The painting captures the moment where another maid asks after the reason of the corporal punishment.
