**Set of 3, 19th Century Allegorical Reverse Glass Paintings** This captivating set of **three 19th-century allegorical reverse glass paintings** presents richly detailed narratives imbued with symbolism and classical themes. Each painting is executed in the traditional reverse glass technique, providing a smooth and reflective surface that enhances the vibrant palette and fine detailing. 1. **Painting 1 (Left Panel):** This scene portrays a dramatic encounter, likely a moment of judgment or persuasion, set against a distant landscape. A figure in a flowing blue robe gestures emphatically toward a well-dressed couple, perhaps symbolizing conflict, intervention, or moral decision-making. The background includes a sweeping view of the countryside, with figures in the distance adding depth and context. 2. **Painting 2 (Center Panel):** The central panel features a pastoral scene steeped in allegorical significance. A central figure dressed in red, resembling a shepherd, commands attention under a radiant sunburst. Surrounding characters appear in moments of tension and repose, including a reclining figure and a soldier-like character. This composition evokes themes of guidance, struggle, and divine providence, with the bright sky and natural elements reinforcing the allegorical tone. 3. **Painting 3 (Right Panel):** The final panel depicts an intimate interior scene, with two seated women engaged in conversation, one gesturing emphatically as a standing male figure observes. The setting includes detailed furnishings, such as a writing desk, a red draped curtain, and objects hinting at scholarly or domestic pursuits. This tableau may represent themes of wisdom, counsel, or moral reflection, supported by the characters' thoughtful expressions and elaborate dress. Each painting is framed in its **original dark wooden frame**, complementing the vibrant colors and enhancing their display value. The set embodies the **19th-century European fascination with allegory and storytelling**, making it a significant piece for collectors of reverse glass art...

This exceptional original American Regionalist watercolor and gouache mural study perfectly encapsulates the optimistic "Progress and Industry" design spirit of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. Masterfully executed by acclaimed St. Louis muralist and WPA artist Michael Chomyk (1911–1993), the composition vividly chronicles the evolution of mid-century American infrastructure, transportation, and trade. The panoramic scene dynamically bridges two distinct worlds: a quiet, rural farm landscape complete with a traditional red barn and silos, and a bustling symbol of modern progress. Cutting through the countryside is a sleek, aerodynamic streamlined rail train, while a classic multi-engine propeller plane slices through the sky above. Both elements of transportation guide the viewer's eye toward a towering, geometric Art Deco NYC...
