About the artwork

Alexandrov builds this night view of the Lesser Town up from fine, dense etched line. A full moon hangs to the right of the bridge tower with its tall fretted spire, the smaller dome of St Nicholas off to the left, and a street lamp on its bracket in the foreground. Below, lit houses run along the bridge, with a couple of small figures by the parapet and the Castle silhouetted on the far right.

The sky is filled with tiny points of starlight. It is a quiet, detailed nocturne, numbered 38/100 and pencil-signed, inscribed "Praha, noc, C3", 2020. About 21 by 14.5 centimetres.

Charles Bridge under the Full Moon I.
