French School, 18th Century Feast of the Gods, A Design for a Fan Unsigned, with a label from Ach Van Loo, Bruxelles, affixed to the reverse. Gouache and charcoal on paper mounted to panel, 11 1/4 x 19 1/8 in. (28.5 x 48.8 cm), framed. Condition: Small tears and wear to the edges, areas of shallow abrasion along the charcoal lines outlining the fan ribs, fine craquelure, surface imperfections, soiling. N.B. The presence of a river god (perhaps Peneus) on the right, Cupid with his bow in the lower center, and Diana in the lower right, point towards the story of Apollo courting Daphne, before Daphne's final flight and transition to a laurel tree.
