AN ALBUM OF TWELVE NON-EXPLICIT EROTIC PAINTINGS, QING
清代春宮圖
Sold for €3,792
including Buyer's Premium
China, 19th to early 20th century. Watercolors, gilt, and ink on silk. Depicting mostly non-explicit scenes, some of which are quite humorous, such as one of a woman trying to close a window curtain as a naked man embraces her from behind, with a second, rather bemused woman looking on from outside, or another showing a foreigner attempting to convince a woman to touch his member.
Provenance: From a noted private collection of Chinese paintings.
Condition: Good condition with some wear, creases, scattered stains, and few minuscule tears. All mounted to a scroll.
Dimensions: Image size 19.9 x 15 cm (each)
Note the many small details, such as the variety of vases, antiques and furniture as well as the different artworks shown in the background of the various scenes.
Auction result comparison: Compare with a related set of eleven erotic album leaves at Sotheby’s New York, in The Hundred Antiques, on 24 June 2020, lot 989, sold for USD 12,500, and a set of sixteen erotic album leaves, similarly non-explicit as the present album, at Sotheby’s New York, in Asian Art on 14 September 2019, lot 1406, sold for USD 9,375.
