96105001China n.d. c. 1790. An erotic hand painted color scroll 12 individual scenes each painting ca. 21.5 x 15 cm. overall width is 18 cm. in very clean pristine condition external phoenix cloth inside dark blue silk mounting jade ends. This work is an excerpt from the Chinese erotic novel the Chin P'ing Mei written during the Ming dynasty. It depicts the sexual exploits of the hero Hsi-men and is China's most famous classic novel of erotica. This lovely hand scroll illustrates twelve erotic scenes with Hsi-men and his willowy female consorts. Sapphicsm a common theme but this example shows the hero engaged in a host of sexual pleasures. He adores the vulva and her tiny "Lotus-hooks" or bound feet. In one superb view he is embraced by three lovely paramours as he attempts to gratify each with his tender touch. In another sensual scene while his "jade stick" pierces and ravishes an old favorite a younger concubine is voyeuring at them with desire as we see her pink-flushed face as she masturbates with relish. Several other marvelous paintings show various positions employed for mutual benefit. Each scene is done in the Ming dynasty style with lovely furniture and furnishings graphically illustrated including scholar's desk items scrolls brushes vases flowers & other period objects. Executed in fine color brush work mounted with silk borders paper mounted some 3 meters plus long embellished with pale jade end pieces. BIBLIOGRAPHY: R. H.

He gropes her buttock for more control. . The second tile: Shows the "loving couple" in a pavilion with the garden adjacent. She sits on the bed with her chartreuse robe under her fully naked body. He stands and leans his penis into her while she pulls him close with her arms. She wraps her left leg around him while touching his side with her right "golden lotus" bound foot. Both her "golden lotus" bound feet are visible. She kisses his left cheek in a passionate embrace. There are stairs leading up to the scholar's private room for love-making with a nice "scholar's rock" in the foreground. . The third tile: The "loving couple" are in the garden with a circular gateway in the background along with a banana tree. The "loving couple" are engaged in love-making. She leans her left arm and leg against a porcelain stool while opening her legs giving him and easy entrance. He is on his knees inserting his penis into her. The couple are naked she is voluptuous with large breasts and looks as his "jade stick" with fascination He observes her "jade gate" while inserting his manhood into her. Her left "golden lotus" bound foot is visible. His pair of padded black shoes and a silk gown are on the grass with a lovely "scholar rock" in the foreground. . CHINESE FETISH OF BINDING WOMEN'S FEET: Each of the three nude women show "Golden Lotus" or bound feet wearing typical "boots." This is fetish is over 1000 years old in China and was abolished in 1948 with the communist takeover of China. .
