MIYAGAWA SHUNTEI

A group of seven original erotic paintings on silk, four attributed to Tomioka Eisen (1864 - 1905) and three to his pupil Miyagawa Shuntei (1873 - 1914), executed during the closing years of the Meiji era, probably between 1895 and 1905.

The four compositions attributed to Eisen are laid down on their original mica-flecked paper boards; the three paintings attributed to Shuntei, executed on a lighter, undyed silk, remain unmounted.
