This fragment of an architectural facade represents a magnificent example of Art Nouveau with eclectic elements. The upper part of the portal is decorated with exquisite stone carving featuring plant motifs. The decorative frieze running along the upper edge consists of repeating floral rosettes, creating a rhythmic ornamental row.
The arched construction with meticulously worked details draws special attention. The arch rests on capitals with rich floral decoration, which crown columns made of light-colored stone. The cornice above the arch is adorned with plant ornaments featuring the flowing, curved lines and stylized floral motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau.
In the lower part of the composition, there is a decorative panel with mosaic stained glass on a golden background. Round elements of various shades—green, purple, blue, and brown—create a bright accent and contrast with the monochrome stone carving of the upper facade. This combination of materials and textures is typical for early 20th century architecture, where traditional stone plastic coexists with innovative decorative techniques of that time.
The entire composition demonstrates the virtuoso mastery of stone carvers and stained glass artists, as well as the Art Nouveau era's characteristic aspiration for a synthesis of arts and decorativeness while maintaining constructive clarity.
