Description :

A charming example of reverse painting on convex glass, this vintage artwork depicts pastoral scenes featuring a shepherd in one frame and a shepherdess in the other. The figures are rendered with delicate brushwork, framed by gentle landscape elements that evoke the serenity of countryside life.

Reverse painting silouettes under convex or 'bubble' glass were a popular form of affordable decorative art during the late Victorian and early 20th century.  These pieces capitalized on the renewed interest in traditional silhouettes while the convex glass added a depth and visual distortion that gave the flat painting a three-dimensional appearance.  


Dimensions : 7.5 in W x 9.5 in H x 1 in D
