Става дума за жанр в миниатюрата, при който се е рисувало от обратната страна на стъклени предмети. Текстът е откъс от книга за турската миниатюрна живопис.

While on the subject of figural representation, one must also mention popular painting in early lithographed popular story books, and large paintings intended for display on the walls of coffee houses. An interesting genre is ***under-glass painting***, where figural representations and calligraphy are painted on to the back of the glass, with gold or coloured metal leaf applied to achieve a glittering effect. The subject matter of ***under-glass painting*** is largely of a religious nature such in fig. 22.
