Fan

In the 19th century the decorative themes for fans became more light-hearted. They often played with the idea of the right side and reverse of the fan leaf, as you can see in this example. A row of women in fashionable dress of the 1830s stand on either side of a man wearing a cloak. A back view of the figures appears on the reverse. The sticks are shaped like a guitar. The fan was probably made for the Spanish market.
