Picture frame (3)- Folk art - Glass, Wood, Paint - Reverse glass painting

Three-piece ensemble of Alpine reverse-glass painting – Allgäu folk art

For sale is a charming three-part ensemble of decorative reverse-glass paintings with Alpine motifs.

The three pictures depict different popular scenes from the Allgäu/Alpine region: a traditional costume couple labeled “Allgäu,” a male folk-costume figure, and a wandering or rural man in traditional clothing.

The motifs were executed directly on the back of the glass panes, which makes them appear especially color-intense and with the characteristic shine of reverse-glass painting.

All three works are housed in suitable, decoratively designed frames with red, green, and gold elements. Through the uniform format and identical framing, the three pictures form a very beautiful cohesive ensemble.

* 3 reverse-glass pictures
