The lady on the right is carrying a feathered fan. The 1890s saw trends for ostrich-feather fans, black lace fans and hand-painted gauze fans.
Isabelle Desgrange (née Toudouze) was the daughter of Adèle Anaïs Toudouze, one of the most prolific and popular fashion plate artists of the mid-nineteenth century. Isabelle also produced plates for Le Follet, Le Monde Elégant and The Queen.
