Shunga Figure Scroll, Ukiyo-e Style - Anonymous - Japan (No reserve price)

This is a traditional Japanese hanging scroll painting (kakejiku) depicting figures in an intimate scene, executed in ink and color on silk. The work reflects the stylistic influence of ukiyo-e painting, particularly within the genre of shunga (erotic art). Shunga was an established and culturally significant genre in Japan, especially during the Edo period, where it was appreciated for its artistic refinement as well as its narrative and symbolic qualities. Such works often combine elegant figure depiction with expressive composition, offering insight into historical perspectives on human relationships and aesthetics. The figures are rendered with fluid lines and careful attention to form, while the silk ground enhances the softness and depth of the pigments. The composition reflects traditional Japanese painting techniques influenced by ukiyo-e aesthetics. Mounted as a hanging scroll, the piece is suitable for display and collection. An appealing example of Japanese shunga-style painting, suitable for collectors of ukiyo-e related art and historical genre works. Measurements (Approx.)cm
 Length(overall/painting): 33.5 Width(overall/ painting): 22.5 The painting is in old condition. (Please see photos for details)
