Detail of a Nude, Elegant 1962 Lithograph Signed R. Bronfman, Ed. 1/6 antique arm and hammer trade card with a simple wood frame

with a simple wood frame around it

I know that reverse glass painting was taught to young women in the first half of the 19th century and then became widely popular as a decorative art from about 1850 to 1890

reflecting a mid-century aesthetic favoring simple forms and glaze patterns

and it looks lovely most anywhere

1880s I believe

Detail of a Nude, Elegant 1962 Lithograph Signed R. Bronfman, Ed. 1/6 antique arm and hammer trade card with a simple wood frameI haven't found a definitive match for the R. Bronfman who signed and dated this print in 1962, 1 of an edition of 6 but I think it is really a beautiful piece, three gestural lines and two circles and not a thing more to perfectly deliver one detail that evokes the entirety of a nude. And in just the right frame too. Lovely. 9 11 16 x 9 5 8 framed. Image size: 4 1 2 x 5 1 2. Very good condition, with just a bit of toning to the mat, no matter.
