This was edited in three mediums, bronze, ceramic and terracotta with only the bronze version having the fan in her hand (for reasons of fragility).
The page above is a scan from the original foundry catalogue.
This is a rare and beautiful figure with wonderful period styling to her hair and certainly one of Descomp's most iconic sculptures of the period.  
She is in great condition with only some slight restoration to a couple of edge chips and the tip of her big toe.

Joseph Jules Emmanuel Cormier (Joe Descomps) (French, 1869-1950).
Joe Descomps studied under Hiolin. He exhibited regularly at the Salon of the Societe des Artistes Français, and designed and executed a wide range of objects in the Art Nouveau and art deco style, including jewellery, sculptures in bronze, stone, and ceramics. In the 1920s he concentrated more on small-scale sculptures, mostly in bronze and bronze / ivory.
