About the Item

This delicate and detailed artwork, dated Paris, July 18, 1896, is a study for a fan portraying scenes from South America. It is rendered primarily in charcoal and blue pencil, which gives it a soft yet expressive contrast. The composition follows the curved shape typical of a fan, carefully arranged within a golden frame and mounted on a beige background. The drawing features multiple vignettes — small illustrative scenes — each representing aspects of South American life, landscapes, architecture, and people at the time. Tropical vegetation, riverboats, colonial buildings, and figures in traditional attire are all depicted with remarkable precision. The scroll on the left side includes a delicate touch of blue, highlighting part of the design and breaking the monochrome palette subtly. This work not only demonstrates artistic finesse but also serves as a cultural snapshot of 19th-century South America through a European lens.
