Eventail plié is a 1740 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting Hand Fan, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan shows a small painted scene of people in a garden by a pond. There’s a thatched-roof hut with three figures sitting at a table, and others strolling or rowing a boat. The colors are soft—pinks, blues, and greens—with gold borders and floral patterns around the edges. The fan’s handle is carved with a lace-like design, and the whole thing folds up neatly. It looks like something someone might carry to stay cool while enjoying a quiet day outside. If you like this kind of delicate, portable art, look up hand fan next.
