They had no fan leaf. They were made of sticks held together with a silk cord or ribbon.  Some brisé fans accentuated the elaborate carving of the sticks. Others, like this example, were as pictorial as those made with a painted fan leaf.  The fan painter has illustrated this fan with <i>The Finding of Moses</i>, using rich colours and composition associated with the Baroque style.  Painting on brisé fans was more difficult than painting a fan leaf.  The artist had to colour each individual stick carefully so that the whole composition connected properly when the fan was opened.","physicalDescription":"Brise ivory fan. The main painted scene shows the finding of the baby Moses in the river by Pharaoh's daughter, with ladies in attendance, set in landscape.  The gorge has a vignette with a scene probably depicting King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, surrounded by chinoiserie vessels. The reverse shows a classical landscape with temple and a couple hunting deer. Guards of ivory inlaid with mother-of-pearl, with chinoiserie motifs. White paste studs on the rivet. The sticks are joined at the tips by a ribbon covered with strips of painted paper.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Watercolour, gilt and varnish on ivory sticks, and ivory guards inlaid with mother-of-pearl","categories":[{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"},{"text":"Fans","id":"THES253017"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2014HH1963","2014HH1966","2014HH1964","2014HH1965","2006AR8884"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"016","id":"THES327322"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Fan","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"France","id":"x28849"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"},{"place":{"text":"Netherlands","id":"x29020"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1700-1725","earliest":"1695-01-01","latest":"1725-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Admiral Sir Robert and Lady Prendergast","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"220","unit":"mm","qualifier":"when open","date":{"text":"18.04.13","earliest":"2013-04-18","latest":"2013-04-18"},"part":"through the centre","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"390","unit":"mm","qualifier":"when open","date":{"text":"18.04.13","earliest":"2013-04-18","latest":"2013-04-18"},"part":"widest point","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"15","unit":"mm","qualifier":"when open","date":{"text":"18.04.13","earliest":"2013-04-18","latest":"2013-04-18"},"part":"deepest point","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measured for Europe 1600-1800","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Brise fan depicting the Finding of the baby Moses, French or Dutch, about 1700-25","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Hart, A. & Taylor, E.
