Country Homes Antiques Scotland est 1985

A beautiful oil on canvas from around  1830 – 1840 depicting a view of the Charles Bridge in Prague with the Castle in the background. The work is on canvas and finely executed, showing a washerwoman at work by the banks of the River Vltava. There’s an old Christie’s stencil verso and an inscription to the stretcher which we can’t decipher.
