Europe » Peasant Icon of Virgin & Child
Ref: 3660
A very good condition example of a popular folk painting from Transylvania. The tradition of reverse painting on glass was inherited from Austria but the Romanian peasantry made it their own copying images from dreary prints and investing them with a native sense of joy and colour expression.
