L'Éventail — Woman with Fan and Roses, Alfred Stevens Postcard

A garden terrace under a red-striped awning, a bouquet of white roses caught at her waist, a lace fan raised beside her cheek — Alfred Stevens poses this woman at the exact point between display and ease, the poised stillness of an afternoon visit. “L'Éventail” is one of his signature terrace scenes: soft light, a gilt lyre-back chair, a potted orange tree by the open doors.

Especially fitting for a fan or floral-themed swap, or tucked into a letter to someone fond of period fashion.
