About the Item

A pair large scale reverse glass paintings of a noble man and woman. Unusual and very intriguing, she with her long neck and limbs, dressed in an elegant metallic copper gown. He in a handsome waistcoat and chapeau holding a cane, with a sword tucked in his belt. Each with a stylized fleur de lis. Impressive in scale at 33 inches high by 23 wide, the technique of using metallic colors set against an iridescent white background is fascinating, something I have never seen. Though the figures appear to be depictions of French nobility, these are most likely Venetian in origin. In the original frames. These would make singular signs for the restrooms in a restaurant. 33 inches high by 23 wide
