Eventail pliant is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, depicting Hand Fan, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This fan is open, showing off white and cream-colored blades with painted flowers and swirls in bright colors. The handle is carved wood with lots of small holes. Each blade has a scalloped edge and tiny details like dots and leaves. The flowers look hand-painted, with colors like pink, blue, and green. The fan’s design is delicate but sturdy—good for holding and folding. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use this technique for bright, layered colors.
