The image showcases an expressive architectural element of a façade, executed in a style that combines Art Nouveau with national motifs. The central part of the composition features a white relief with three stylized trees, each having characteristic circular rosette elements in their upper sections and decorative roots below. This motif resembles the traditional depiction of the tree of life, commonly found in folk art.
The lower part of the panel is adorned with a row of five red-orange stylized plant forms, resembling ears of grain or flowers on stems with geometric ornaments at their bases. The contrast between the white upper section and the terracotta lower section creates a rhythmic division of space and emphasizes the decorative nature of the entire composition.
The architectural framing of the panel is executed in the form of simple geometric shapes – vertical white pilasters with rectangular capitals, which creates a clear structure and highlights the decorative element against the beige wall. The composition is crowned with a red tiled roof, a fragment of which is visible at the top of the image.
This façade element demonstrates the characteristic tendency of Art Nouveau and national-romantic movements of the early 20th century to stylize natural forms and utilize folkloric motifs in urban architecture.
