19th century Indian erotic gouache depicting a couple copulating while standing on a carpet with a bolster behind. The actions of the couple juxtaposed with the calm demeanor on their faces makes these gouaches quite amusing, compelling, perhaps arousing?
Based on the Kama Sutra and Ratirahasya, the India manuals known as ‘The Secrets of Love’. A unique decoration for a bedroom, boudoir or bathroom.
Each in a stunning rosewood frame with open fretwork and brass inlay, as well as gilt borders. A photocopy of the back of the page attached to the reverse.
