Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Folding fan with Venus and Mars. French c.1700. Paper leaf on ivory sticks with applied mother-of-pearl with later ivory guards. This is the oldest fan in the Lennox-Boyd collection. It shows Venus, the Roman goddess of love, being approached by her lover, Mars, the Roman god of war. this delicately hand-painted fan was made for a wealthy and discerning patron: its sticks are carved from expensive imported ivory and then embellished with exotic mother-of-pearl. The guards may have been added later. Extensive tears have been crudely repaired at some point in its history. Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England. |
