A paper fan, engraved and painted depicting an allegory of passion, with a group of Lovers busy around an altar, where a flaming heart burns, while a blindfolded Cupid flies overhead, armed with bow and torch. A cherub chops wood, while a second toddler feeds the hearth, and others tie ivy branches.
Good overall condition (small stains and tears, several gold and silver leaves missing).
