Another Reverse Painting for a Mirror

Completed Mirror. Frame required only minor cleaning.


These small mirrors are fun to do. The reverse paintings were often these simple, folky scenes, and this one of the "cottage by a river" is pretty typical. 

Typical also is the condition these panels are found in. In addition to general deterioration, there were earlier attempts to fix the painting. As we can see, these rarely turn out well, and replication is the better option.


Original panel.  (the number on the tape is just for my tracking purposes).




My version of the panel.
