Folding Fan: Departure of Aurora

Cleveland Museum of Art

The folding fan, titled "Departure of Aurora", features a colorful, semicircular design with multiple panels. The fan's face displays a classical scene depicting several figures in various poses. The scene shows a man in a white and blue garment stepping into a chariot pulled by four white horses, accompanied by putti. He appears to be leaving behind several women seated on the ground. The fan has a clear, semicircular base with a painted design and a small stick handle at the bottom. The edges of the fan are gold-colored. The background of the image is dark gray.
