The image depicts an exquisite architectural element in the Art Nouveau style, presenting a decorative sculpted cartouche or console that adorns a building façade. The composition features a central sculptural face framed by stylized botanical elements.
The central part of the composition is a female face with a neutral expression, crowned with a decorative diadem or crown featuring geometric patterns. Flowing lines resembling hair or drapery extend from the head, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style with its fluid, organic forms.
The framing includes vertical elements resembling fluted columns or pilasters, between which are stylized leaves and floral motifs. The upper portion is decorated with cross-shaped flower elements, while the side parts feature round protrusions, giving the composition a balanced symmetry.
The material – light-colored stone, likely limestone or sandstone, demonstrates the carver's mastery in conveying both the delicate details of the vegetal ornament and the expressiveness of the human face. Such elements were typical of prestigious building façades from the late 19th to early 20th century, when the Art Nouveau style reached the peak of its popularity in European architecture.
