This folding fan, created by Jin Zemao sometime between 1840 and 1860, showcases Chinese artistry. The fan features two sides: one with a vibrant scene of a rider on a white horse amidst a landscape, while the other side displays a floral and bird motif against a purple backdrop. The fan's intricately crafted black lacquered wooden frame and golden accents enhance its overall elegance. This hand-painted fan exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and artistry that characterized the 19th century.
