Set of 11 (of ?) erotic silhouette drawings in black ink on grid paper,

c. 1900, all 10.5 x 16 cm., all with owner's stamp of German painter Adolf Oberländer (1845-1923) on reverse, all but one numbered (VI and IX-XVII) and with poetic descriptive text of the (facing?) scene on reverse.

Lovely set of silhouette drawings, possibly by Adolf Oberländer himself, in which a couple explore each other at home, while an aroused waiter is eavesdropping on the other side of the door. At the end, the (freshened up) couple leave the house, seen off by the waiter. A caption on drawing XVII concludes the text: "Dichtung - frei nach Schiller u. Komp (Göthe, Dante, Körner), Zeichnung. von Rubens (Holbein, Dürer, v. Veer) (total 11)
