Among China’s aristocracy, fans were symbols of taste and status. They could be used to enhance a person’s gestures: ladies used fans as props to highlight their beauty and grace, while learned scholars would fan themselves idly to demonstrate deep thoughts. Deng Ying - a contemporary Chinese artist from Beijing—painted this fan with a whimsical, colorful scene she calls "At the Park 2." Her contemporary style contrasts beautifully with the traditional design of the fan.
