In front of a blue wall decorated with reverse glass paintings, the still life shows a white, four-handled vase with lush red and yellow flowers on a small table and a group of Madonnas in the lower right half of the picture. They all have the same color scheme of red and blue in their robes and yellow in their crowns. Their outlines are almost indistinguishable from one another against the dark background. As a group, they form a similarly closed form to the flowers in the vase. The clear composition of murals, figures and flower arrangements is emphasized by the reduction to a few, repeatedly recurring colors. One of the first reverse glass paintings made by Gabriele Münter, which is in the collection of the Murnau Castle Museum, depicts "Saint Florian". Gabriele Münter learned the technique of reverse glass painting from Heinrich Rambold, a local glass painter. In her "dark still life with figurines" she shows "Saint Florian" by Heinrich Rambold on the upper right half of the picture, whose outline Gabriele Münter traced onto the back of a glass plate. Then she had to apply the parts of the image that made up the foreground before she dealt with the background, so that when the glass was turned over, the effect was correct. "Saint Florian" from 1909 is considered to be her first copied glass picture. Naturally reversed! But as early as 1910, glass pictures with their own motifs and messages were created.
