Reverse Glass Painting of Ganesha - 19th Century
This vibrant Indian reverse glass painting depicts Ganesha seated on a lotus throne, flanked by two attendants. It dates to the early to middle 19th century.
Reverse glass paintings are made by painting on the back of the glass. It first became popular in the 16th century in Europe and saw a resurgence in the 18th & 19th centuries with the growth of trade between Western Empires & China. The art then spread from China to India in the 19th century via the travels of itinerant Chinese painters. Few pieces have survived due to their fragile nature.
