Scene from the Ramayana: The general of the monkey army kneels in a worshipful pose before Rama and Sita. Rama's brother Lakshmana brandishes the white frond of yak hair. The multipass arch at the upper edge is characteristic of paintings from Rajasthan; the picture could originate from Nagaur and was acquired in Ramgarh or Jodhpur. Note: Reverse glass painting in Germany The reverse glass painter Rambold (1872-1953) taught reverse glass painting to the artists of the Blue Rider movement. On his easel was a reverse glass painting with an Indian motif. Only one photo of it still exists. It is unclear whether he painted it himself or acquired it somewhere. Information from Mr L. Feiler, 23.7.08
