Dancing girl, on a fan dates from July 1895.
Dancing girl, on a fan, Private Collection
The earliest date inscribed on the fan is January 1895, written by Frederick Leighton (1830-1896), and other dates indicate it was constructed between January and November 1895. The fan would have been assembled in or shortly after 1895, perhaps by Walter Crane (1845-1915), for a special presentation. 1
It is catalogued in MacDonald 1995 (cat. rais.) [more] (cat. no. 1423). This record has been updated and corrected.
