Eventail plié is a 1885 unspecified by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Gilding, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan is bright red with delicate white flowers and birds painted on it. The handle is light brown wood with gold trim, and the fan itself is made of thin, pleated fabric. The edges of the fan are scalloped, and the whole thing looks light enough to hold in one hand. The flowers and birds are simple but detailed, almost like a small watercolor sketch. Fans like this were often used as accessories for women’s clothing in the 1800s. If you like this kind of detail, look up hand fan next to see how they’ve been used for centuries.
