Historical subjects in the Rococo style remained popular as fan decoration from 1870 to 1890. Often fan painters copied the work of well-known 18th-century pastoral artists directly on to fan leaves. In this example, the fan painter F. Lamy has copied The Picnic Party by François de Troy. Lamy has left parts of the leaf unpainted rather than trying to adapt the composition to the curved shape of the fan leaf.
