1832, N. Currier Reverse Painting on Glass: "WASHINGTON AT MOUNT VERNON 1797," NY, Very Fine. 9.75" x 13.5" colorful image, in original wooden frame, 14.25" x 18.25." Colors are still very bright and sharp, but the lighter areas have yellowed with age. Very early reverse painting, accomplished by Currier before he went into business with Ives. Depicting Washington on horseback, speaking with two slaves in the fields, with his pillared plantation house in the background. Caption reads: "Agriculture is the most healthy, the most useful, and the most noble employment of man - WASHINGTON." Very rare reverse painting on glass by Currier.
