Pastel painting by Hungarian Painter Blanca Tauber (1910-1989) – Prague scene.

A signed framed pastel of a street scene by Hungarian born artist Blanka Tauber. We believe the scene is possibly of Malá Strana which is an old part of Prague where Blanka Tauber attended art school.
It is in very good condition, vibrant and ready to hang.
