Fan

Cleveland Museum of Art

Semi-circular fan with a scene of people in 18th-century clothing. The fan has a mother-of-pearl body with a cutout design. The outer edge of the fan has a painted scene with people sitting and standing in a garden or yard setting. The people are wearing 18th-century clothing, including dresses and suits. The scene includes a table with people seated at it. The fan's body is primarily white with a shiny, iridescent sheen. The painted scene on the outer edge has a gold border. The fan has a small metal loop at the bottom for holding. The background of the fan is decorated with a floral pattern and pink flowers. The fan appears to be ornately designed, suggesting it may be a decorative piece or a collectible. The title of the work is "Fan" by an unknown artist.
