Eighteenth Century Gouache French Fan Design of a Bucolic Island Setting, Shepherdess in the Foreground by Gabled Cottage, Castles in the Distance
- SIGNED NA
NA. Very Good. N.d., mid-18th Century almost certainly, a hand-colored design on thin paper which was meant to have been folded and attached to the spokes of a fan but wasn't. The paper is a half-circle, with the length 54 cm, the height, 29 cm. The image is dominated by blue and a tenebrous palette and is not large, measuring a 25 by 10 cm, in a crescent shape, with a light blue field extending beyond. The paper has a few small tears and light soiling, but it can be mounted and matted very handsomely.
