Chinese Republic Period Reverse Glass Painting (ca. 1915-1935) - High-Quality Example with Lady and Child
A fine Chinese reverse glass painting (huitouhua 背画) dating to the Republic period (early 20th century, ca. 1915-1935). This technique, introduced to China in the 18th century and refined in the 19th-20th century, involves painting in reverse directly onto glass - a process demanding great skill and precision.
The subject depicts a refined lady in richly decorated robes, seated with a round fan, and a boy presenting a peach (shoutao 寿桃), symbolizing longevity, prosperity, and auspicious blessings. Such domestic and symbolic scenes were highly popular during the late Qing and Republic era, often commissioned for decorative purposes and as expressions of good fortune.
Period: Chinese Republic (1912-1949)
Technique: Reverse glass painting (huitouhua)
Dimensions: approx. 60 × 40 cm (including frame)
Frame: Original wooden frame with metal hanging fitting
Condition: Very good, with minor wear consistent with age; colors remain vivid and the glass intact.
This is a high-quality example with detailed brushwork, elegant composition, and strong decorative appeal. Collectible both as Chinese Republican decorative art and as a continuation of the reverse glass tradition first popularized in the Qing dynasty.
