Eliška Přemyslovna (1292-1330) was Queen of Bohemia. Her son Karel IV. was King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor - he made Prague the imperial capital and he was a great builder in that city - f.e. Charles Bridge (Karlův most), Charles University (Universita Karlova), Charles Square (Karlovo náměstí - the biggest square in Europe) and others.
Bust of Eliška is placed on the corner of house at Vyšehrad.

Difficult lighting, but you've done well. You've caught so much detail. The bust is in a vey old style, but in excellent condition. Quite fascinating.
ReplyDeleteIt only looks like old style, this bust is from 1995 - sorry :)
ReplyDeleteNever mind, it's still very attractive and a fine photo!
