This is a faded black-and-white portrait of a woman holding a fan. She has dark hair pulled back, a serious expression, and is dressed in a high-necked, puffed-sleeve blouse. The background is a dark, smudged shape, like ink spilled on paper. The title at the bottom calls it *La femme à l’éventail*—"the woman with the fan"—and notes it’s based on a Goya painting. The edges of the paper are stained and torn, as if it’s an old print. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
