The image showcases an exquisite fragment of a building façade in the Art Nouveau or eclectic style from the early 20th century. The architectural composition focuses on an expressive corner turret with a dome-shaped crown, which was typical for prestigious urban mansions of that era.
The upper part of the turret is adorned with a magnificent dome in the shape of a "scaled" cap in dark blue, covered with metal plates resembling fish scales. The dome is crowned with an elegant white stone decorative element with a spherical finial, richly embellished with stucco ornaments featuring volutes and floral motifs.
The turret has a semi-circular shape with three windows creating a panoramic view. The window opening is framed by thin metal railings supporting the balcony space. The lower part of the turret rests on a richly decorated cornice with floral stucco ornamentation.
The building's façade is executed in light tones, emphasizing the refinement of the architectural composition and creating contrast with the dark dome. The attention to detail, proportionality, and decorative richness speak to the high status of the building and the craftsmanship of architects from that period.
