Fan - depicting Diana

In the middle of the leaf, which is framed with small scallop motifs and bouquets of roses, there is a scene from mythology, probably taken from the story of Diana. A recumbent young lady holds a quiver in her left hand she is raising her right hand towards an arrow offered by a young man paying homage before her. Servant-girls stretch a baldachin above her. On both sides there are maidens gathering flowers, winged putti and other figures. In the background there is a landscape with ruins. On the verso a Rococo couple dallies on a small island. Among the floral embellishments on the sticks there is a couple making music in the upper part of each of the guard-sticks sits a youth playing the flute.
