A day at the farm, France, circa 1760
Folded fan, the skin sheet lined with paper and painted with gouache of a country gathering in front of ruins. A washerwoman hangs out her washing, an elegant shepherd plays with his dog. In the center, a shepherd observes a farmer offering eggs to a young peasant girl.
On the reverse: a small house surrounded by flowers evoking Indian textiles.
Mounted in finely cut, pierced, engraved, burgundy and gilded white mother-of-pearl, with loves and shepherds in the center.
