EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning folding fan from the late 18th century, adorned with a delicate courting scene. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece features gouache on a double silk leaf, embellished with brass sequins, mother-of-pearl accents, gilding, and a brass loop. Measuring at 27.9x49.5 cm, it is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection. The fan depicts a charming courtship between two individuals amidst an ornate setting. A beautifully dressed woman holds the fan delicately in her hand while engaging with her suitor - a dashing man who stands before her. The intricate details of their attire and surroundings reflect the fashion and opulence of the time period. Not only does this folding fan serve as an accessory for practical use but also as a decorative object that adds elegance to any ensemble or space. Its ornamental design featuring birds further enhances its visual appeal. Bridgeman Images has captured this remarkable artwork through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance even if we cannot witness it firsthand at the museum itself.
