Child's Fan

Cleveland Museum of Art

The fan, titled Child's Fan, by an unknown artist, is an open handheld fan with a semicircular shape. The fan has a cream-colored background with a painted scene of two children in a landscape. One child wears a blue hat, blue pants and no shirt. The other child wears a blue dress. They are surrounded by trees, a house with a red roof, and a body of water. The fan has a gold patterned border with pink flowers. The inner section of the fan has a different design with green, red, and pink colors. The handle is cream-colored with an indecipherable design. The fan is displayed against a gray background with a shadow underneath.
