Crazy Reverse Glass Painting - Signed

[StarVision]

The ol thrift shop So after some research the style is "Verre Eglomise" with the gold leaf and the reverse painting. Especially the deep frame. The signed name is what I believe to be a french name - Andre. Yet its a painting showing slight expressionism of a traditional early 20th century Chinese women. Also on the backside the paper is very old and brittle, everything is telling me around 1940's. I would really appreciate any other opinions on who could of painted this because there's not another like it with all these styles, frustrating but very excited.

I think thirties or forties is a good guess - I have no factual knowledge to back up my hunch , it just feels about right - It is beautiful
and I would bet it's pretty collectible as well - I've never seen one like it - Great score !
