Vincenz Janke, Northern Bohemia, first third 19th C.

Glass panel painted on reverse in opaque and transparent pigments against black ground. Unsigned. Softwood frame gilded over red bole, H 26.7, W 19 cm.

This reverse glass painting is based on the sheet "Der Winter. Hyems." by the Augsburg engraver and publisher Johann Georg Hertel (1700 - 1775), whereby the artist has only reproduced the figure of the gentleman tying his skates but not the two ladies watching him.
