Antique reverse painting on glass, with very fine lines, depicting Saint Peter.
The interesting peculiarity is that the artist, painting on glass, has to execute the figure in reverse, under the glass itself, as if it were a negative. The observer of the painting, even if delicate, could also touch it, unlike a painting on canvas or on glass itself. This form of painting was produced throughout Europe from the 15th century to the 19th century.
