About this work

This fan is all black with a painted scene in the center. The picture shows a woman in a white dress, holding a fan like this one, with her arms raised. The background looks like a room with a chandelier and some falling glass or sparkles. The fan’s handle is decorated with silver patterns, and the edges of the fan’s ribs are also detailed. The watercolor painting on the fan is soft and a little blurry, like a quick sketch. If you like this fan, look up hand fan to see how they’ve been used in different cultures.
