About this work

This fan is open, showing bright colors on a faded background. The scene has people in fancy clothes sitting on a boat, with a castle in the distance. Pink, blue, and green details stand out against a worn beige surface. The edges have carved lace-like patterns. The fan’s handle is carved with tiny designs, and the fabric looks hand-stitched with tiny flowers and swirls. The colors are faded but still show off the careful work. Look up embroidery to see how these tiny stitches were made.
