Statue of Eliška Krásnohorská

Restoration work is currently reaching its final stages on a marble statue of the Czech author and feminist, Eliška Krásnohorská, which was created by sculptor Karla Vobišová-Žáková. The making of the statue was funded by the Czech Women’s Industrial Society, and its official unveiling took place on 31 May, 1931. Now, after cleaning, a series of minor repairs and conservation, the statue, located at a visually exposed site in Karlovo Square, will resume its impact as a distinctive landscape feature and well-earned memorial to Eliška Krásnohorská, a prominent figure of Czech history.
