This Georgian religious wall art piece is a late 18th-century to early 19th-century reverse glass picture depicting Saint Peter. The artwork incorporates pigments on glass and paper, set within a dark brown rosewood moulded wooden frame with visible grain variations. Saint Peter is portrayed with clasped hands, a grey beard, and robes in shades of blue and red against a landscape and cloudy sky background. The picture measures 41 cm in height and 31 cm in width, and the condition is described as perfect within the original period frame. Suitable for placement above the mantel in a traditional home interior, this piece brings classic English Country House style to living spaces and hallways.

FAQs

Reverse glass pictures, popular throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, were created by adhering an engraving or mezzotint face-down onto glass, rendering the paper translucent, and hand-painting oils or pigments onto the back.

These artworks typically consist of a flat glass panel, paper print transfers, hand-applied oil pigments, and period wood or gilded frames.

Authentic period examples often exhibit light age-related craquelure or pigment lifting, period hand-blown glass with subtle distortion, and original wooden backing boards.

Display these framed historical artworks above a mantlepiece or sideboard, or arrange them within a gallery wall alongside period and contemporary framed art.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and damp conditions, dust the frame with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid cleaners on the glass to prevent moisture from seeping behind the frame.
