The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architectural decoration adorning a building façade with distinctive blue brickwork. The central element of the composition is a skillfully crafted sculptural representation of a peacock with its tail spread, positioned above an arched opening.
The decorative panel is executed in white stone or stucco, creating a striking contrast with the rich blue background of the wall. The peacock, a traditional symbol of beauty and elegance in Art Nouveau aesthetics, is depicted with outstretched wings and a meticulously detailed tail, where the feathers are stylized in the characteristic flowing, curvilinear forms with spirals typical of this style.
The architectural framing includes an elegant semicircular tympanum and decorative elements on the sides. Below the sculptural composition, a part of a geometric ornament in the form of a stylized circle with transverse lines is visible, adding rhythm and balance to the composition. The expressiveness of the decor is enhanced by the play of light and shadow on the relief surface of the sculpture.
Such decorative elements are characteristic of buildings from the early 20th century, when architects sought to enrich building façades with natural motifs, giving them special expressiveness and artistic value.
