"Lady with a Fan" is an oil-on-canvas by the celebrated Spanish artist Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Veláz. Created in the Bar period, circa 1635, the artwork is housed in the Wallace Collection in London, UK. This painting is a striking reflection of the artist's fascination with rendering individual human character in portrait form, using his acute understanding of visual depiction.

The subject in the painting, the 'lady,' is an elegant, unidentified woman, showcased against a dark, clouded backdrop. She is seen holding an ornamental fan, a typical accessory of the era, indicative of her societal standing. Velázquez distinctively employs light and shadow in this work, bestowing an ethereal glow upon the woman's face and creating drama that is heightened by the stark, contrasting background. The texture of her extravagant, lace-styled collar and the intricate patterns of the fan demonstrate the artist's mastery over detail and subtlety.

Although Velázquez is known for his court portraits of the Spanish Habsburg monarchy, particularly King Philip IV, "Lady with a Fan" is considered a deviation. Here, Velázquez has extended his prowess beyond courtly life to depict a high-status woman in a comparatively informal setting. This painting has been analyzed by art critics and historians for its supposed display of personality and mood, a testament to Velázquez's ability to evoke human emotion in his works.

As is typical of Velázquez, the artwork is marked by its combination of naturalism and baroque drama, leaving an indelible imprint on the trajectory of Western portraiture. While the exact provenance of "Lady with a Fan" is not entirely known, it remains amongst the lesser-explored yet immensely significant works in Velázquez's oeuvre.
