Eventail plié is a 1880 unspecified by André Jolivet, a Impressionism work, depicting Plume, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan has a black handle and guard, with a painted scene on the open blades. The image shows a woman in a garden, dressed in a light dress with a dark shawl. She stands near a tree, holding a long stem of flowers, while other blooms grow around her. The artist used soft colors and small details to make the scene feel calm. The flowers and greenery are painted carefully, almost like a snapshot of nature. Want to see more? Look up watercolor to learn how artists mix paint and water for delicate effects.
