Lot 210: A Qajar Erotic Page, Iran, 19th Century

This Qajar erotic page from 19th-century Iran is executed in ink and watercolor on paper. The composition depicts an erotic scene featuring three figures, two men and one woman, positioned on a pink patterned rug. The figures are dressed in traditional attire characteristic of the Qajar period, including specific headwear and robes. The central illustration is framed by a decorative border consisting of multiple colored ruling lines. Faint Persian or Arabic script is visible in the left margin, possibly indicating a folio number or artist mark. The work reflects the style of illustrated manuscripts produced in Persia during the mid-19th century.
