Cira 1880 Victorian reverse painting. Mother of pearl inlay 24inchesx28.5inches

Rare to find in such exceptional condition, this stunning reverse glass painting is a true collector’s piece. Many reverse paintings of this size have not survived to the present day due to their delicate construction, as they are painted directly onto glass rather than canvas.

Creating a reverse glass painting requires remarkable skill, with the artist painting the image in reverse order on the back side of the glass. This large and impressive example features beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay, expertly used to create the shimmering reflection of moonlight in the windows, adding depth and visual interest to the scene.

The artwork is housed in an antique frame and comes complete with a hanging wire, ready to display in your home or collection.

Dimensions: 24 inches x 28.5 inches.
