The Orsay Museum has recently acquired an outstanding collection of artist-designed fans. Among these remarkable pieces is a particularly intriguing work from 1887 by Jacques-Émile Blanche. Titled ‘Two Young Girls on a Bench,’ this fan cleverly depicts two young women, each of whom is herself holding a fan, creating a delightful visual recursion or ‘mise en abyme’.
