Girl with Fan, Facing Left

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman in profile, holding a fan in her left hand and gesturing slightly with her right hand. She has delicate facial features, styled hair with curls and a feather plume, and wears an elegant gown with detailed sleeves and a voluminous skirt. She wears a pearl necklace, and her shoes have a slight heel. The background shows simple line work suggesting a natural setting with shrubbery. The scene is framed by minimalistic lines, and the numeral "4" is at the top right corner.
