God Krishna as a baby lies on a leaf and sucks his toe (symbolising his young age). Note: Reverse glass painting in Germany The reverse glass painter Rambold (1872-1953) taught reverse glass painting to the artists of the Blaue Reiter. 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.
