The goddess Durga cuts off the head of the buffalo demon Mahisha; a red, human-shaped creature rises from the dark blue animal body on the ground. Characteristic of this style is the depiction of the trees, which bears a certain resemblance to miniature painting. Note: reverse glass painting in Germany The reverse glass painter Rambold (1872-1953) taught the artists of the Blue Rider how to paint behind glass. 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
