This fan shows two women in a fancy room. One sits in a chair holding a fan like this one, while the other stands nearby, dressed in light colors. The walls have gold details, and the floor has a striped pattern. The fan itself has a lace-like design with painted scenes on it. The tiny painted picture inside looks like a snapshot of daily life, with soft colors and simple shapes. Fans like this were often decorated with small artworks to carry around. If you like this, check out needle lace to see how delicate designs like this were made.
