Notes | After the violence of rape (picture nine), calm is restored in this memorable image of lovers reclining in the upstairs room of a teahouse, open to the autumn evening breeze. Their entwined legs seen through his diaphanous silk jacket suggest the delicate intimacy that will soon follow. The lovers gently touch each other’s face and neck and the man’s eye can just be seen gazing at her as they kiss. Sophisticated modulation of the patterns on her robe give the sense of her beautifully curving body beneath. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
