Reverse painting on glass is an art form where the artist paints the image on the back of a piece of glass and then views the image through the glass from the front. This technique requires the artist to work in reverse order, applying the highlights and details first. This art form became popular in China during the Qing Dynasty, particularly for export to Europe and America.
These paintings often depicted scenes of daily life, landscapes, or portraits of beautiful women, reflecting both Chinese aesthetics and subjects that would appeal to Western tastes. The paintings were often framed in wood and were used as decorative objects in homes. This set showcases the elegance and refinement associated with traditional Chinese art.
They are in very good antique condition. There are some scuffs and scratches on the frames that could be repaired or they could be reframed by a professional ref framer. The actual pay of surface on the glass is pristine.
