Eventail brisé is a 1820 unspecified by Unknown, a Romanticism work, depicting Hand Fan, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan is open wide, showing a mix of faded colors—deep reds, browns, and yellows. Each leaf has tiny painted scenes: people in simple clothes, buildings with thatched roofs, and a few trees. The edges of the leaves are worn, and the paint looks old, with some spots where color is missing. The fan’s handle is made of metal, and the scenes feel like little stories from a long time ago. The paint is thin and delicate, almost see-through in spots, which makes the colors glow softly. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use this technique to create light and detail.
