Two miniatures with erotic scenes - Lot 248
Two miniatures with erotic scenes Polychrome pigments, gold and silver on paper India, Pahari school, probably Mankot, 19th century 21.5 x 15 cm These two miniatures present each an erotic scene, mounted in a blue and pink margin typical of Pahari productions. On one: a couple embracing on a terrace of a marble pavilion, surrounded by many luxurious objects, on a bed covered with beautiful textiles. On the other, the erotic scene takes place in the courtyard of a palace. In the foreground, a couple is having sex, the male character having kept his turban, on a richly decorated carpet. On the right, sheltered by a pavilion, a woman covered with a light veil seems to be waiting her turn. Note that the dark color of the water in the fountain corresponds to the oxidation of the silver. This lot is presented by Mr Alexis Renard, CNES expert.
