Fan

Frank Maurer

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an ornate, feathered hand fan fully opened. The fan consists of segments decorated with light pink and beige fabric and delicate white feathers. The color palette includes soft pastels of pink, beige, and creamy white against a neutral background. The fan is centered in the image, with the handle pointing downwards towards the bottom left, and the feathers spread outwards in a semi-circle taking up most of the space.
