Parallel to the exhibition To Play to the Gallery. Fashion and Portrait, examining the relationship between art and fashion, the Prints and Drawings Department chose to focus on a fashion accessory that is both an artistic medium and the subject of numerous representations : the fan. The three cabinets on the second floor show fan mounts, drawn or engraved, to be mounted or used as models, representations of their use in Europe from the 16th to the early 20th century, as well as a collection of Japanese engravings and fans. This presentation includes an exceptional series of eight sheets painted in the 18th century, unveiled to the public for the first time.
