From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
This painting shows a delicate, folded fan with intricate lace details and a watercolor design. The fan's surface features a dreamy, impressionistic scene of nude figures in a lush, green landscape. The fan's edges are adorned with a pattern of seashells and skin, adding to its ornate design. A small, golden plume is attached to the fan's center, and a sewing needle is visible near the top. The painting's use of watercolor and glazing techniques creates a soft, ethereal effect. For more works that showcase the beauty of watercolor, explore the art of A. Rodien.
