This anonymous fan from the late 18th century, features a central scene of a tavern surrounded by a landscape, likely referencing a popular theme of social gathering, with two flanking medallions adorned with cherubs and birds, all set against a delicate floral background. The fan itself is constructed of ivory sticks and a paper leaf, showcasing the artistic mastery of 18th century craftsmanship. The intricate details and elegant composition of this fan, likely intended as an accessory for the fashionable lady, make it a fascinating example of decorative art from the period.
