Japanese Kutani porcelain figurine - man with fan

An open fan and a richly decorated robe define the appearance of this Japanese Kutani porcelain figurine. The hand-painted figure is finished with raised moriage enamel and gilded accents, which add extra emphasis to the patterns on the clothing.

The depiction shows a seated man with a fan in his right hand, possibly a wise man or court dignitary. The figurine probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century and has been restored at the fan.
