Hello, this item is a framed artwork titled The First Fan by Miriam Schapiro, an important figure in the American feminist art movement and a pioneer of the “femmage” style, blending fine art with traditionally female craft forms like quilting and decorative patterning.

Measuring approximately 78 cm wide by 40 cm high, the work presents her distinctive layered and ornamental visual language. While the German label on the back reads “Der erste Fächer” (translated as The First Fan) and notes a number (3409), there’s an additional reference to “Jürgen Bouwman,” which may indicate a prior owner, gallery, or framer.
