This anonymous 19th-century drawing is a design for a lace fan. The artwork depicts a detailed floral pattern, with intricate designs for the fan's shape and border. The artist used delicate lines to capture the beauty of the flowers and the complexity of the lacework. The fan is a popular symbol of femininity and elegance, and this design reflects the delicate beauty of the Victorian era. The "Lace Design" is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
