Indian Folk Painting on Glass
Ref: 3220
Peasant reverse painting on glass was found throughout Europe - but also in India - the Indian ones resemble the
Romanian ones more than anything produced in Romania resembled those found in Western Europe - which is
interesting and oft noted - the flat decorative style of this folk art lending itself to the orientalist sensibility more than to the post-Giotto European.
This one is quite charming, it has more age than some & has an attractive romantic and colourful subject matter -
and the original old white painted pine frame.
