EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folding fan transports us to the idyllic countryside of the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, this delicate masterpiece showcases a pastoral scene that captivates with its intricate details and vibrant colors. Measuring at 26.7x49.5 cm, this fan is crafted on a single vellum leaf using gouache and watercolor techniques. The mother-of-pearl handle adds a touch of elegance, while gilding and paste gems enhance its ornate beauty. The scene depicted on the fan depicts a serene rural landscape, complete with rolling hills, lush greenery, and charming farm animals. A group of goats frolics in the foreground, their playful antics adding life to the composition. This decorative accessory not only served as a practical tool for cooling oneself during warm summer days but also showcased one's refined taste in fashion and artistry. Fans like these were highly sought after by fashionable individuals who appreciated both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Now housed in the Dallas Museum of Art as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe with its timeless charm. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the enduring allure of nature's beauty captured through artistic expression.
