Folding fan with double blade of thin leather and gouache painting, frame of ivory, ajour and carved in relief with gold and silver invested and background of mother-of-pearl, locking pin with rhinestone, folding fan with double leaf of thin leather and gouache painting, locking pin with rhinestone. On a foundation with vertical stripes between roses and flower garlands, which has a close relationship with French silk fabrics from this period, an oval and two rectangular miniatures in golden frames and two diamond-shaped grisailles are placed in a symmetrical pattern. The trompe l'oeil effect is enhanced by the small bow ties above each miniature. In the central medallion, an outdoor area with fashionably dressed children and a flower vendor. In the square miniatures on either side of this allegorical representations of love with a putto with flower garland on the left in the middle and a putto with a mask on the right. Known in the grisailles are also known love symbols, such as the open mousetrap on the left, which has been compared since the 17th century with the fall in which the lover walks and the little bird on the right. The leaf-filling pastoral representation on the leaf at the back is painted in much less detail. The face, however, is very similar to that of one of the girls at the front and both paintings might be of the same hand. The floral and love theme of the leaf is reflected in the decoration of the frame. In the middle frame a man gives a flower to a woman and in the reserves on the right and left two children playing with a flower wreath and a flower basket. Between them, cartouches made up of rocailles with pastoral and musical trophies, vases with flowers, birds and loose flowers. On the outer legs, among other things, two lovebirds, damsel Louise Digna Catharina Blaauw-Six, damsel Catharina Isabella Six, anonymous, France (possibly), c. 1770 - c. 1780, blad, montuur, sluitpin, grinding, s 50 cm l 29 cm
