Reproduction of a painting on a postcard.
A painting by an unknown artist that conveys the appearance of the Wrocław Town Hall with documentary accuracy. At that time, the city was called "Breslau," which is written at the top of the picture. Both then and now, the Town Hall is located on the central square of the city. An interesting fact is that this building was built for 250 years, and from a commercial building it became an administrative and judicial one.
On the canvas is a bustling day in a big city, conveyed by a large number of details: people, points of trade, establishments. A truly masterful work, because despite the rather light and weightless watercolor, which was often used for smooth transitions, the author managed to create a photographically accurate and quite realistic work. And the color scheme in warm shades hints to us that the season is most likely spring or summer. This can also be understood by the single green trees.
