Late 19th Century

About the Item

Erotic Scene is a gouache and China ink original painting on silk, realized probably in the second half of XIX century by an anonymous Japanese artist of XIX century, From a collection of twelve Japanese erotic silk paintings, wrongly titled "Shunga", mounted under a yellow cardboard Passepartout, cm 37 x 26.8, this modern artwork of little dimensions, but of extraordinary quality represents an erotic scene between two young Japanese lovers portrayed in their intimate situation and with their sophisticated traditional costumes and hairstyle. Without ever being vulgar or too explicit but with extreme elegance, our ancient Japanese artwork, in excellent conditions, except for a very little burnish stains on the lower corners and on the left margin.

  • Dear One Threads A Cocoon - Unique Hand-coloured Print in Walnut frame
    Located in London, GB
    Hand-coloured portrait of a human larvae bursting out of their cocoon, immobilised in marble. Representative of a safe and isolating space, the cocoon is both a cage and a shelter.
