A young girl in a straw hat, holding a feather fan, sits at the center of this portrait, which places her within the Health and Beauty category of the gallery. Fans of this kind were a common accessory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when women and girls used them to shade the face and keep cool, and when a clear complexion was prized as a sign of good upbringing. The straw hat points to outdoor leisure, a setting where protecting the skin from the sun was considered sensible. Pictures like this one show how ideas about health and appearance were closely tied, and how everyday objects such as a fan could signal both comfort and care.
