About this work

This fan shows a woman in a pink dress standing in a garden. Behind her, a small house sits among trees and bushes. The scene is painted in soft colors, with a path leading into the distance. Notice the fan’s handle and guard are decorated with cut-out metal patterns. The artist signed it in the lower corner. Look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to create depth.
