EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning folding fan adorned with an exquisite painting titled "Jacob meeting Rachel by the well". Created in the 1760s-70s, this masterpiece is attributed to an unknown artist from the 18th century. The fan measures 26.7x50.2 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection. The scene depicted on this delicate accessory transports us back to biblical times, specifically to the story of Jacob and Rachel from the book of Genesis. A man and a woman are beautifully illustrated amidst an ornate landscape near a well, surrounded by a flock of sheep. This artwork not only captures their encounter but also conveys elements of religious symbolism. With its mother-of-pearl embellishments, gilding details, and paste gems adorning its surface, this folding fan exemplifies both fashion and faith during that era. It serves as a decorative accessory that carries profound meaning for those who embrace Christianity. As we admire this remarkable piece from history through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and transport us into different worlds - in this case, allowing us to witness a significant biblical moment while appreciating the craftsmanship behind such intricate decoration.
