Erotika is a portfolio of drawings by an anonymous artist created in 1943, the middle of World War II.

The portfolio is thought to be from a Czech refugee living in Great Britain and shows various people engaged in one of the few pleasures available in that horribly dark time. It was a time when no one knew whether they would live or die, and so some seized upon pleasure as if it might be the last experience of it they might ever have.

Erotika was created using pen and ink with wash. The portfolio has sixteen illustrations including the title illustration.
