Description
Primary Description:
Colorless glass canes; assembled. Made of two rectangular panels of assembled hollow glass canes that sandwich between the two panes a gouache drawing on paper. This panel was probably made for a table screen, and was originally framed in a solid wooden frame (probably carved / maybe inlayed) with a foot or base that would have been displayed upright and profit from the daylight illuminating the painted scene of glass blowers working at the kiln. Colorless, non-lead? glass, watercolor pigment (gouache).
