This is a set of vintage 1951 reverse silhouette paintings of birds, specifically cardinals, by artist Thera Darby Case. The paintings are done on a small scale, with dimensions of 4 inches in height and 3 inches in length, and are framed for display. The production technique used is reverse painting, which adds a unique artistic touch to the pieces. These are from 1951, very vintage and photos reflect condition. They are very delicate, but just gorgeous. There is tape on the back of one that hangs over a little, it’s connecting the artist info to the back of the frame.
