								Du Jin </font><font size="-0" color="black" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">杜堇 </font><font size="-1" color="black" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(painted late 15th to early 16th centuries).<br>
							</font><font size="-1" color="black" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In this painting Du Jin captures the social life of the upper-class woman.  Families lived in enclaves<br>
								that included brothers, cousins, uncles, as well as grandparents.  The women spent their time in this ready-made 'neighborhood.' <br>
								The women came from families of the same social strata, often from distant relations, to be wives and concubines.  <br>
								Unmarried daughters of the household joined the women, although most would have left to join their husband's household before maturity. <br>
								The scroll dates from the Ming period. </font></p>
