Slovak Reverse Glass Painting
$75.00
Charming reverse glass painting (malba na skle) depicts a village woman in traditional dress - polka-dot skirt, white apron, and scalloped bonnet - walking a path past thatched-roof cottages, blossoming trees, and wildflowers under a soft sunset sky. The back bears the original printed label reading "Na skle malované / Glasmalerei," with the artist's name, Eva Donovalova. The piece is painted directly on the back of the glass, a traditional Central European folk art technique (known in German as Hinterglasmalerei) that gives the colors a distinctive glowing, layered depth.
