This folded fan is made of light wood with painted scenes on both sides. The front shows two small portraits in oval frames, surrounded by blue ribbons and floral designs. The back has two figures in pink dresses holding flowers, with green leaves and tiny cherubs peeking out. The fan’s delicate watercolor details make it look like a tiny, portable painting. The portraits and ribbons suggest it was meant to be both pretty and personal. Check out how watercolor lets artists create soft, layered colors with just paint and water.
