Designed by Jules Chéret, created circa 1900, this 18K gold brooch depicting a young woman is set with rose-cut diamonds. The brooch is designed in the form of a chased 18K gold fan edged with rose-cut diamonds set in platinum, and centering a relief image of a smiling young woman with an extravagant updo wearing a diamond necklace and aigrette, set among bows, ribbons and roses. Relating to the artist's 1899 lithograph "Dance", this jewel serves as a wearable form of Chéret's celebrated Art Nouveau poster art.
