The photograph showcases an exquisite example of Art Nouveau architecture from the early 20th century. This is the entrance door of a building created by architect E. André in 1903, as evidenced by the signature in the upper right corner of the facade.
The doorway is designed in the characteristic flowing, organic manner of Art Nouveau. The facade is made of light-colored stone with clearly drawn reddish joints, creating a refined geometric pattern. The door itself is painted in a warm ochre-yellow color and has a double-leaf construction with elegant wrought iron handles.
The decorative elements are particularly striking: the upper part of the door and two small windows above it are adorned with wrought iron grilles featuring fluid, flowing lines in the form of stylized plant motifs — the typical ornamental language of Art Nouveau. The ironwork pattern demonstrates an asymmetrical composition where curved forms resemble plant stems.
The entire door portal is framed by sculpturally detailed stone framing with the smooth, flowing silhouette characteristic of Art Nouveau. The house number "69" is visible on the right side of the facade. This door is a beautiful example of how a functional building element transforms into a genuine work of decorative art from the beginning of the 20th century.
