18x14 This reverse painting on glass, known as Hinterglasmalerei, depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a traditional Central European folk art style. The composition and iconography are consistent with works produced in the Sandl region of Upper Austria during the 19th century. The central figure of Christ is rendered with stylized features, dark hair and beard, and a tripartite halo. He gestures toward a flaming Sacred Heart on his chest, which is set against a radiant yellow nimbus. The portrait is framed by a decorative arch topped with five blue and red onion domes, each surmounted by a cross, suggesting a cathedral setting. The sides are embellished with vertical borders of stylized roses. The painting is housed in a period wooden frame with a dark stain and a wavy, grain-painted pattern. The reverse of the glass is partially covered by a fragment of torn, aged brown paper.
