Lot 329 A GROUP OF EIGHT EROTIC DRAWINGS INDIA, KOTA, CIRCA 19TH CENTURY

Reference: ART3006955

These eight erotic drawings from 19th-century Kota, India, showcase a striking and unusual blend of traditional Indian miniature painting style with fantastical, erotic themes. Each image is rendered with fine, delicate lines and earthy, muted colors on paper, using the techniques typical of Rajasthani miniature art. However, what makes them especially distinctive is their surreal and provocative content: the human figures—mostly women—are depicted in intimate or erotic encounters with anthropomorphized animals such as tigers, elephants, and bears. Largest 17 by 12 cm.
Smallest 15 by 12 cm.
