The hunter in love
A hunter, wearing a hat and period costume, leans over a rustic fence, in conversation with a young woman in dress and headdress. His posture suggests a moment of surprise or shyness.
The background is composed of lush vegetation and towering trees, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and seclusion.
A lithophane is a thin ceramic plate with a relief that varies in thickness from 1.5 to 4 mm.
China is fired twice at a temperature of 1250°C.
In normal lighting, there is virtually no visible image, but a three-dimensional image is created when a light is placed behind it.
Lithophanies became particularly popular in the mid-19th century. Placed in front of a candle, they were used as bedside lamps or hung in front of a window.
