This fan shows three people standing in a garden. The man in the center wears a dark coat and hat, while the two women next to him have light dresses. Behind them, trees and flowers fill the background, painted in soft colors. The fan’s handle is made of wood, and the blades are slightly worn. The watercolor scene looks delicate, with faint brushstrokes. Look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to create light effects.
