Original Description
The painting A Fan-maker by Charles Edward Perugini (1839–1918) radiates Victorian elegance, capturing a serene moment in the life of a young woman delicately crafting a fan. Bathed in soft, diffused light, the scene exudes intimacy and quiet craftsmanship, with Perugini's meticulous attention to fabric textures and subtle facial expressions enhancing its realism. A prominent figure in the Victorian classical revival, Perugini trained under William Etty and later worked closely with the Pre-Raphaelites, though his style remained more restrained and refined. This work exemplifies his mastery in combining narrative warmth with technical precision, bridging academic tradition and emerging aestheticism. While less famous than his contemporaries like Leighton or Alma-Tadema, Perugini’s pieces are prized for their poetic domesticity and tactile detail, offering a genteel glimpse into 19th-century interiors.
For decor, A Fan-maker would enrich a cozy study or a refined sitting area, where its muted earth tones and peach accents harmonize with wooden furniture or linen upholstery. Position it against sage green or taupe walls to amplify its warm palette, and pair with gilded frames or brass accents for period-appropriate flair. At approximately 24x30 inches (typical of Perugini’s portraits), it suits medium-sized walls above a console or writing desk, demanding eye-level hanging for optimal engagement. Complement it with smaller still lifes or botanical sketches to sustain its intimate scale, while avoiding stark modern art nearby to preserve its historical aura. In offices, it lends sophistication to executive spaces, subtly reinforcing themes of craftsmanship and focus.
