#4723. Art Nouveau façade with stained glass female figure in green metalwork framing

The image showcases a magnificent example of Art Nouveau stained glass framed by exquisite green metalwork. This vertical panel is part of a façade, presumably of a historic building or shop. The metal framing features the characteristic flowing, sinuous lines of Art Nouveau, resembling plant motifs with wave-like curls.

The central stained glass depicts a female figure in a long light dress against a backdrop of a bright sun disc with radiating beams. The stained glass is executed in delicate blue, orange, and yellow hues. The lower part of the composition features stylized poppy flowers, and the silhouette of a musical instrument resembling a lyre or harp is visible. The entire composition is infused with symbolism and fluid lines typical of the turn-of-the-19th-to-20th-century aesthetic.

The façade solution presents a dialogue between elegant metalwork and colorful stained glass artistry, creating an expressive accent on the overall appearance of the building. On the right, a fragment of a signboard or information plate is visible, while on the left, a red drapery suggests the commercial or public purpose of the premises. This is a beautiful example of a preserved historical decorative element of the urban environment in the Art Nouveau style.
