God Surya on a seven-headed horse

The sun god Surya sits on a chariot drawn by seven horses. The drapery on the upper and side edges of the picture refers to northern Gujarat. 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. Feiler, 23.7.08
