This album leaf is a part of a 48-page album that depicts Chinese subjects participating in various aspects of daily life, including government business, daily life, cultural customs, modes of transportation, and corporal punishment. This leaf has an ink and watercolour drawing of two men punishing a third (the “thief”), with one man holding the man’s head by his head and neck, while the other prepares to strike him with a club. There is an official’s hat on the lower left of the scene, likely belonging to the man wielding the club. The kneeling figure is wearing pants with a mid-length top, while the two standing figures are wearing official’s robes. The two figures without hats have the top and sides of their heads completely shaved with a long braid down the back (a “queue”), which was a regulated Manchu hairstyle during the Qing dynasty.
