Description
Virgin and Child Reverse Glass Painting with Wood Frame
A reverse glass painting of the Virgin and Child, a vibrant example of Eastern European folk art. These joyful works were handcrafted in village settings, often inspired by old German religious prints, and brought cheer and color to peasant homes. Produced in the first half of the 20th century, this piece reflects the cottage industry tradition, comparable to Staffordshire pottery figures in its artisanal roots.
The painting features a reverse-painted glass panel set in a hand-painted wooden frame, showcasing its authentic craftsmanship and historical charm.
Condition:
- Fair condition, with a visible split through the glass panel. Signs of age and wear consistent with its history.
Size:
- Overall Dimensions: 9.75" x 9"
- Visible Image: 7.25" x 6"
