Three miniatures with erotic scenes - Lot 246
Three miniatures with erotic scenes Polychrome pigments and gold on paper Central India, probably Datia, 19th century 24 x 16.5 cm These three miniatures present each an erotic scene taking place on the terrace of a pavilion. They are mounted on a midnight blue margin, with a white Sanskrit inscription at the top. The dark midnight blue margins, the palette, the treatment of the faces and the vegetation can be compared to a series of paintings of the Sat Sai of Bihari, probably executed in Datia in Bundelkhand. A series of the same origin is published in: SEITZ Konrad (2015), Orchha, Datia, Panna : Miniaturen von den rajputischen Höfen Bundelkhands 1580 - 1850, Band II, Hanstein Verlag, p. 222. This lot is presented by Mr Alexis Renard, CNES expert.
