Based on the description of the painting, the statement that can be inferred is:
"Since there are so many slaves working in the field, the cotton gin is not yet in use at this plantation."
This inference suggests that the reliance on manual labor for cotton picking may indicate that the plantation has not yet adopted the technology of the cotton gin, which significantly increased the efficiency of cotton processing and would have reduced the need for such a large number of slaves in the fields.
The other statements do not logically follow from the details provided about the painting.
