This fan is folded open to show three painted scenes. The largest picture has four people in fancy clothes sitting outside near trees, with a dog at their feet. Two smaller circles show faces—one woman in a blue dress, the other a man with a green hat. The edges have gold patterns and tiny flowers. The fan’s scenes look like they’re from a time when people dressed up for outdoor gatherings. The colors are soft, and the gold details make it feel fancy. Next, check out how watercolor was used to create such delicate images.
