This anonymous 18th or 19th-century design sheet features a repeating pattern of stylized fans in yellow, green, and red. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the design suggest a possible use as a pattern for textiles or wallpaper. The sheet is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY and measures 14 3/8 × 17 15/16 inches. The artwork is a prime example of decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries.
