"A Seated Woman with a Fan" is an 18th-century painting by the French artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), a painter known for his depictions of the French upper class and their leisure activities during the Régence and early reign of Louis XV. This particular work is characteristic of Lancret's rococo style, which often included light-hearted and romanticized portrayals of courtly life, with an emphasis on frivolity and the pleasures of love and play.

The painting features a young woman seated elegantly with a fan in her hand, an accessory that was a common motif in rococo art, symbolizing both flirtation and social status. The woman's attire and the style of her dress suggest that the painting was created during the 1720s or 1730s, a period when Lancret was at the height of his artistic career and enjoyed the patronage of members of the French aristocracy as well as the king himself.

Lancret's work is often compared to that of his contemporary Antoine Watteau, with whom he shared a penchant for the fête galante genre—scenes of aristocratic entertainments in pastoral settings. However, Lancret developed his own distinctive style, and "A Seated Woman with a Fan" exemplifies his skill in capturing the nuances of social interaction and the textures of luxurious fabrics.

The painting is a testament to the cultural and artistic values of the time, reflecting both the influence of the rococo aesthetic and the social dynamics of the French elite. As with many of Lancret's paintings, "A Seated Woman with a Fan" likely served as both a decorative piece for a wealthy patron's residence and a subtle commentary on the performative nature of social status and gender roles in 18th-century France.

Today, the work is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance as a window into the customs and fashions of the period. "A Seated Woman with a Fan" remains an important piece within Lancret's oeuvre and continues to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for its representation of the rococo style and its insights into the social life of the era.
