Woman with a Fan is a 1909 oil on canvas painting by Pablo Picasso.[1][2][3] It has been held in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow since 1948. It was owned by collector Sergei Shchukin until being seized by the Russian state after the October Revolution in 1917 and assigned to the State Museum of Modern Western Art.[citation needed]

In this painting it can be noticed the influence that African art had on Picasso's works at this time, for example in the dark and sculpted features of the face and in the oval shape of the eyes.[citation needed]
