EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning folding fan with a classical subject, believed to be an allegory of marriage. Created in the 18th century by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece measures 25.4x47 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection. The fan itself is a true work of art, crafted from ivory and adorned with intricate gilding, brass accents, and delicate gouache paintings on a single vellum leaf. Its ornate design features figures that symbolize various aspects of marriage and love. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back to a time when fans were not only practical accessories but also decorative pieces that reflected one's taste and social status. This particular fan stands out for its rich symbolism and attention to detail. The allegorical scenes depicted on the fan tell stories of love, commitment, and partnership between men and women. Each figure exudes gracefulness while dressed in classical attire that adds an air of elegance to the composition. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty of this historical object up close while marveling at its craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that even everyday items can become works of art when infused with creativity and meaning.
