La Pérouse in Port-des-Français, fan circa 1860
Bone fan, red tinted
Skin leaf painted with three cartels in a frame of exotic flora. The central cartel perhaps pays homage to the La Pérouse expedition of July 1786, with the Astrolabe and La Boussole anchored in the bay of Port-des-Français (now Lituya Bay, Alaska).
Painted silk reverse
Good condition (old restorations on guards, micro tears)
Size : 27 cm
