About the Item

This is a Republic China period framed reverse painting on glass, depicting a beauty of wearing traditional Chinese customs and clothing decorations. The paintings come with their original hardwood frame and the old pins in the back of the panel. Reverse glass pictures became fashionable in the 18th century. Glass panels were sent from Europe to China by sea, where they were painted to order, framed, and then returned to the West for inclusion in Chinese-inspired interiors.
