AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Lot description: Stained-glass window hanger - Theo van Zanten (Edam) - Maritime Scene
Object: Painted stained-glass panel
Artist: Theo van Zanten (Edam, the Netherlands)
Period: Mid 20th century (ca. 1950-1960)

Technique: Hand-painted stained glass, set in an oval lead came
Subject: A detailed historic sailing vessel (galley/barge) on a rolling sea
Condition: Excellent / Exceptionally deep in color
This specific lot stands out for its pristine state of preservation. Where comparable objects often show color loss due to years of UV exposure, this panel has retained its deep, saturated pigments in full. The glass is completely free of cracks or hairlines and the lead is in a stable, solid condition.

Specifications:
Dimensions: [Enter exact height x width here, e.g.: 25.5 cm x 19.9]
Origin: Netherlands.

Expert's note:
Theo van Zanten is renowned for his mastery in painting maritime and Old Dutch scenes on glass. This piece is a beautiful example of his technique, where the depth in the cloud formation and the reflections on the water are applied with great precision. The color palette is warm and atmospheric, especially when light passes through the glass.
