A Late 18th Century Bone Fan, the double paper leaf printed and hand coloured, showing a seemingly ordinary man carrying a staff by the water's edge, watching the arrival of Venus in her shell chariot, her robe of European 18th century style, shawl billowing in the breeze. The verso is plain. Guard length 10.75 inches or 27.5cm

Sold for £60
Estimated at £60 - £100


 

. Very obvious grain to the bone particularly to the guards. One or two small holes noted on one leaf fold, others slightly soiled and some split near the top border. A couple of places where the double paper layers need to be re-secured.
