Fan; Spain, late 19th century.Tortoiseshell and country simile on gouache-painted vellum.Signed on the back.Measurements: 49 cm.Fan with tortoiseshell soul and vellum country. The ornamentation of the piece is based on the expressiveness of the tortoiseshell itself and on the figurative scene painted on the country. The artist has taken a historicist image close in theme and aesthetics to the gallant scenes that were so popular in the 19th century. In a large landscape, the artist depicts a scene in the style of the court, in which a large garden is depicted, enjoyed by various gro of people. The back area is also adorned with an emblem, made up of several letters, so it is likely that it corresponds to the original owner of this piece.During the 19th century social gatherings at public events were the appropriate context for ladies to show off their new fashionable acquisitions, of which fans were the perfect accessory. Fans became very important not only because of their usefulness, but also because ladies developed a whole language around the use and arrangement of the fan.Dimensions: 49 cm.
