#4067. Traditional Russian wooden facade with carved green window frames

The image showcases a beautiful example of traditional Russian wooden architecture with characteristic window frames (nalichniki). The facade of the house is constructed from dark horizontal logs, creating a striking contrast with the intricately carved light green window surrounds.

The window frames demonstrate rich decoration in the Russian wooden Art Nouveau style with elements of traditional wood carving. The casings are crowned with semi-circular kokoshnik-shaped tops featuring ornamental motifs and decorative elements. Particularly noteworthy is the openwork carving that forms complex geometric patterns around the perimeter of the windows.

The upper part of the window surrounds is designed with arched finials adorned with decorative rosettes and patterned elements. The lateral parts of the framing are embellished with vertical carved details featuring alternating geometric motifs. The lower part of the window frames is also richly decorated with lace-like carved elements.

The windows have traditional sectional divisions, and lace curtains can be seen behind the glass, emphasizing the atmosphere of a traditional Russian dwelling. The partially visible vegetation near the facade creates an organic combination of architecture with the natural surroundings.
