The image showcases an exquisite entrance portal in the Art Nouveau style. The building's facade is finished with light-colored stone featuring rusticated surface, which adds textural depth. The central element of the composition is a magnificent doorway with decorative framing executed in the fluid, plastic forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
The double-leaf wooden door is crafted from solid wood in a rich dark brown shade with beautiful grain. Each leaf has a complex paneled structure with decorative rosettes and small glazed windows in the upper section, protected by delicate grilles. The door demonstrates exceptional carpentry skills – crisp panel lines, elegant decorative elements, and thoughtful proportions.
Above the entrance is an elegant semi-circular glass canopy supported by wrought iron brackets. The canopy's design reflects the Art Nouveau aesthetics with its flowing lines and functional elegance. The glass filling has a light bluish tint, which adds an airy quality to the structure.
The doorway framing is executed in the characteristic Art Nouveau plasticity with floral motifs, elegantly flowing forms, and asymmetrical composition of decorative elements. A stone staircase with several steps leads to the entrance, featuring small platforms on both sides where flowering plants in pots add picturesqueness and coziness to the composition.
Of particular note is the upper part of the facade above the canopy, where a decorative frieze with ornamental motifs executed in colored tiles or mosaic can be observed – a characteristic design technique for Art Nouveau buildings of the early 20th century.
