[Erotica] Hand Painted Erotic Image #4 (India, 20th Century)
n.d. (20th century). The complete image measures 6.5 x 8.5 inches, with the pictorial image measuring 6 x 4.25 inches. The orange “frame” is painted onto the cardboard. Hand painted by an unknown Indian artist. The image shows a couple engaged in intercourse on a patterned floor. Pillows and ritual implements (?) are on the floor. A dwelling is behind them with a view of a clouded horizon with trees and bushes.
The back of the piece shows 4 tape removal (?) marks indicating that it was attached to something at one point. There is also some old writing on the back which looks like it is in Farsi (Persian). Otherwise this is in excellent condition.
