Fan c. 19th century

This 19th-century fan, made by an anonymous artist, is a beautiful example of decorative art. The fan features a delicate, hand-painted scene of figures gathered in a garden setting, framed by intricate gold filigree on a black background. The elegant design and intricate detail, characteristic of 19th century European fan-making, make this an exquisite object for the home or museum. The fan, which is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and beauty of the bygone era.
