The Art Class: A Charming Late 19th Century Tortoiseshell Fan, the ribs a continuation of the sticks, the sticks and guards plain. The black silk leaf is painted with a top border of frilly flowers, in shades of white and light blue, tinged with ginger, possibly lilacs, and pointed green leaves. Seated in various poses amidst the blossoms are eleven cherubs of various ages and sizes, all engaged in painting, some revealing the results of their endeavours, others with their back to the viewer. Thus we see a variety of detail, from the shapes and colours of their clothes, to the colours and styles of hair. The single leaf is plain on the verso. Signed to the right "J Gautrier?". Guard length 34.5cm

Sold for £130
Estimated at £100 - £150


 

The silk is very slightly rumpled. A small amount of the top border braid is detached.
