Gum tempera on paper; page: 21.2 x 18.1 cm (8 3/8 x 7 1/8 in.); image: 18.1 x 16.4 cm (7 1/8 x 6 7/16 in.). Erotic paintings were commissioned by the patrons of painting, at times for educational purposes, mostly for pleasure. The artists would seek inspiration for the peculiar sexual positions from ancient texts such as Kamasutra and Kokashastra. In the painting, a woman rests on the lap of her paramour while their position is supported by two large bolsters put against the wall.
