Folk Painted Crown Bed Panel with Photograph
Ref: 5684
Remarkable ‘jeu d’esprit’ in this painted panel from a marriage bed, the betrothed are pictured in a photograph preserved in the centre of the piece, the folk painting is vibrant and nicely aged and typical of the folk art of the Hungarian Calvanist peoples of rural Kaloteszeg in Central Transylvania. This piece would have been inserted onto the top of the main panel of a bed painted in the same style.
Central Transylvania early 20th cent
