China, erotic fan, 19th century.

China, erotic fan, 19th century.
Rare Chinese fan with an erotic subject. It shows two couples in a garden adorned with a pierced rock. The one on the right is lying under a mat placed under a willow, the one on the left is seated on an armchair under a banana tree and is accompanied by a servant.
It is probably an illustration of Jin Ping Mei, the greatest Chinese erotic novel.
Inks and pigments on paper, bone and palm sticks, original rivet.
Former G. Lévy collection

Exhibited at the Fan Museum in London in July 2019.
