From the Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague

Eugen Wiškovský · 1951 · gelatin silver print ·  Accession ID  2025.100.83

The image shows an old urban building seen through the sparse branches of a bare tree in the foreground. The building is tall and features multiple windows and a small balcony on the upper level. The focus is on the building's architectural details rather than the sky or surrounding landscape. The building appears weathered with visible cracks and textures, and the color palette is predominantly gray. Objects like laundry lines and a fence suggest human presence. Soft lighting illuminates the textures on the building and tree branches, creating a serene atmosphere.
